Restriction fragment length polymorphisms.RFLP's are useful when a researcher is looking for genetic variabilty Allele-specific oligonucleotide probes (A) is used to identify a particular mutation,, or to count chromosomes. B is used to identify a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms.it’s most commonly used to measure gene expression in certain cells or tissues. siRNAs © would be used to modulate gene expression at the transcriptional/post-transcriptional level.

Ach b. serotonin c. glucose d. ketones patient have Phenyl ketonuria so this patient very likely has BH4 deff or Dihydrobiopterine reductase deff. which is one of the uncommon cause of PKU bcause his phenylalanine hydroxylase level is normal BH4 is a prerequisite for serotonin synthesis from tryptophan Answer B 0 - ArchivalUser - 04-08-2012 Q6 A 1 year old mentally retarded patient with several hospital admission with hypoglycemia presents to you with a positive Clinitest but a negative Urine dipstick for sugar? the patient most likely have? a.

Von gierke disease...has all s/s, .....not sure abt +Clinitest (test for glucose in urine) 0 - ArchivalUser - 04-09-2012 Q7 tyrosine is essential in patients with .......?? a. PKU. 0 - ArchivalUser - 04-09-2012 insulin deffciciency in patients with DM1 will lead to a state in whicg the body is in a psedohypoglycemia which will stimulate ACTH relese ---. cortisol and Epi. and glucagon to further increase the blood sugar dec. insulin and increased Glucagon -->> phosphorylation of AcetlcoA carboxylase rendering it inactive in FA synthesis so acetyl coA the effect of inc. acteyl coA::: inhibits pyruvate dehase: leading to inc. conversion of pyruvate into the gluconeogenic pathway which is already stimulated by the glucagon( F16Bisphosphatase) further increasing sugar levels the other path acetyl coa will take is into Ketone body synthesis cuz beta oxidation of FAs which is normally inhibtied by MALONYLCOA is absent now cuz no acetycoa carboxylase is functoning cuz of lack of insulin |
