CASE STUDY: John's sister Sally has a young girl who was just diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. John is very concerned about this diagnosis and what it means for his sister and niece. He also wonders if it is a disease that his children might inherit as well. Try to consider the social, economic, and of course health-related problems when considering this case study. What additional questions does this case make you think of? Choose 1 case study and use it to answer the following questions. Do some basic research if needed. You do not need to use primary sources, but make sure to answer the questions in your own words. a. Which cells in the body are affected by the condition? What are the symptoms of the condition? Are any diagnostic tests available for the disease? How and where can one get tests done? b. If there is one, what is the treatment for the disease? Are there any side effects to this treatment? Is gene therapy an option? c. Are there organizations or resources available to help those affected by the disease? What might be some of the main questions that someone newly diagnosed with the disease might have? d. What is the most likely cause of the genetic disorder and how is it inherited? What percentage of the population has the disease? Is it more prevalent in certain groups such as ages, sexes, or ethnicities? Which genes are affected?

A couple wants to have a child, but the mother has a brother that is affected by cystic fibrosis. They seek out the advice of a genetic counselor at their local hospital to determine what, if any, chance they have of producing an offspring that has cystic fibrosis. During the discussion, the counselor finds out that the husband's uncle (on his mother's side) had cystic fibrosis as well. Build a pedigree to explain the genotypes of the father's grandparents, the mother's parents, and the mother's brother. Is it possible, based on the pedigree analysis, for the couple to have a child affected by cystic fibrosis? Construct a Punnett square to support your answer. Hint: Certain assumptions must be made to answer this question definitively. If not, then the question is unable to be answered in a definitive way. Be sure to identify what assumptions must be made. (Think about the husband's side.)
