Step I First Aid Genetics

[JP2740]

How come it seems random whether 1st aid includes the chromosome involved in a disease or not? Like Friedreich's ataxia has the repeat but not the chromosome listed. With other diseases, it will be listed? Why? I need answers damn it

yahhhh ffffttt first aid makes me confused by these sporadically listed material

I'm personally finding if anything is lacking in FA it is probably genetics. Luckily question banks are filling in my blanks.

It's true. Chromosome #s are very high-yield for certain diseases.

Down's = 21
Edward's = 18
Patau's = 13

--------

Aside from the above, I'd say the highest of the high-yield is:

Huntington's = 4
Marfan's = 15
Cystic fibrosis = 7
Most common cause of 1st-trimester spontaneous abortions = trisomy 16

VHL 3
NF1 17
Praider willi/Angelman 15
Wilms' Tumor 11

All ones I've had at least 1 question on, that simply just asked "what chromosome"

That is gold. Thank you.

Depending on how many chromosome questions I get on the test I may or may not owe you my first born.

Just missed a question over BRCA 1/2 chromosome
