Knowledge of the driver mutations underlying cancer has led to targeted therapeutics, such as the protein kinase inhibitor imati

nib (trade name Gleevec) in cases of chronic myeloid leukemia. Cancer cells often become resistant to a given drug, so researchers continue searching for new drugs that target proteins that contribute to the cancerous phenotype. One recent promising approach uses drugs that lead to ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of the target protein. Which of the following mutated proteins are good candidates for this approach?
A) oncogenes
B) proteins with loss-of-function mutations
C) proteins with gain-of-function mutations
D) tumor suppressor genes

However, the "gene-of-function mutations" are being always considered as "Semidominant or Dominant".

<u>In the question above, the correct answer is option C.</u>

Which genetic abnormally can be identified through karyotyping?
nikdorinn [45]
The correct choice is D.

A karyotype is the layout of chromosomes, in size order from largest to smallest. These chromosomes are ALWAYS in pairs, meaning that it would be easy to notice which of the 23 chromosome pairs have 3 chromosomes instead of the usual pair.
