Cationic trypsinogen is an enzyme made in the pancreas that helps to digest food. It is encoded for by the PRSS1 gene. Individua

ls with a disorder called hereditary pancreatitis have mutations in the PRSS1gene, which result in inflammation of the pancreas, possibly leading to permanent tissue damage. The disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Imagine that you are part of a research team interested in determining the penetrance of a different PRSS1 mutation, Ala16Val. Your team has identified 120 individuals with the PRSS1 Ala16Valallele and found that 48 of the individuals did not display any evidence of pancreatitis. From your data, what is the penetrance of the PRSS1 Ala16Valmutation? Enter you a nswer as a whole number in the blank provided

Answer:

60%

Explanation:

Penetrance in genetics is defined as a proportion of individuals that carry a certain gene (mutation of the gene) with the expressed phenotype (trait). In the example above we wanted to know  the penetrance of the PRSS1 Ala16Val mutation. Form 120 individuals, 72 of them expressed some evidence of pancreatitis (120-48). The proportion of them with the expressed trait can be calculated as 72:120=0.6 or 60%.

Which client should the nurse assess first? a client being treated for right side heart failure who has 1+ pitting edema to lowe
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
The client with chronic hypertension with a current blood pressure reading of 182/98 mmHg should be managed first. According to the AHA guidelines for hypertension, this is considered as a hypertensive urgency and should be managed first by having the patient lie down comfortably and reassessing the blood pressure again. If there is no improvement, the patient should be referred to a physician and a rapid blood pressure lowering drug should be given (i.e. Clonidine 75 mcg tablet sublingually up to 3 doses every 15 minutes). The patient with right-sided heart failure with edema can be treated non-urgently or as out-patient with diuretics. The patient asking for a refill can be entertained last.
