A woman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the BRCA1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian

cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. How should this woman be counseled?

Explanation:

  • The woman should be informed that she has higher risk for breast cancer than other people but less risk than her sister.
  • The woman must be informed about the status of her gene mutation and should be presented with the options for prophylaxis and other reconstruction options.
  • She must be informed that she did not have the same mutation as her sister but there is another mutation which is present in the body and she should be vigilant for  screening.
  • The woman should also be informed that as she does not have the mutation, her risk of having breast cancer is not more when compared with the general population.

What are the similarities and differences between oceanic crust continental crust?.
luda_lava [24]

The thickness of the continental crust is normally 40 km (25 miles), whereas the thickness of the oceanic crust is only 6 km (4 miles). The difference in the average heights of the continental and oceanic crust is a result of the varying densities of the lithospheric rock.

Because of its greater buoyancy and lower density, the continental crust floats significantly higher in the mantle. The average depth of the marine crust is 3,790 meters, while its average height above sea level is 840 meters (2,750 feet) (12,400 feet). The two main layers of the Earth's surface are created by this density differential.

Subduction zones are where the majority of continental crust is created. Rock scraped off the top of oceanic plates when they subduct beneath continental boundaries contributes to lateral expansion (the submarine edge of the continental crust). These boundaries are identified by lines of volcanoes, frequently in the form of volcanic arcs that add to the crust. Additionally, volcanic arcs known as island arcs are produced by subduction zones found inside ocean basins (when one oceanic plate sinks beneath another).
