A qualified genetics counselor is working with a child who has been diagnosed with fragile x syndrome. after extensive research
about the condition, she meets with the parents to discuss the features of the disease and the child's prognosis. the session lasted 45 minutes. what cpt® and icd-10-cm codes are reported?
Here in this case the diagnosis came out with fragility in X chromosome. This is some thing related with medical genetics. Hence, the CPT® Index for this scenario would be 96040. As per the American Medical Association, CPT® Index 96040 cover cases that fall into the category of “Medical Genetics and Genetic Counseling Services” which also involves counseling either with the patient or family for 30 minutes. The icd-10-cm code – Q99.2 deals with the problems associated with genetic abnormality
Here is the complete sentence with the correct answer; The Coriolis effect causes surface ocean current to sink toward the ocean floor, then rise again to the surface. The correct answer is D.
Some bacterial toxins cause disease by altering the activity of G protein, cholera toxin is one of them
Cholera toxin catalyse ADP ribosylation of Gs and blocks GTPase activity thus Gs GTP become permanently active
Constitutive activation of Gs protein continuously induce adenylyl cyclase, cytosolic cAMP level rises that leads to activation of protein kinase A (pKA)
Activated pKA catalyse phosphorylation of two transmembrane proteins of intestinal epithelial cells:
CFTR cause excessive outflow of Cl- ion and Na+ H+ exchange cause efflux of Na+ ion, both enters in gut and form Na+ Cl-
Na+Cl- leads to outflow of water from the gut, resulting in diarrhea and dehydration and this condition may cause death of organisms due to loss of water and ions
