A woman and man have approached you for genetic counseling and are concerned about a hereditary form of deafness in their family

. Both have normal hearing and there are no children. The woman's father has autosomal dominant sensory-neural deafness. Assume he is heterozygous. This hearing impairment displays onset at about age 10, and penetrance appears to be about 70%. There is no family history of deafness among the man's relatives. What is the probability that the woman is a carrier of the deafness allele

Answer:

35% is the probability that the woman is a carrier of the deafness allele

Explanation:

Both man and woman have normal hearing

Woman's father has autosomal dominant sensory-neural deafness - Dd

Genotype of heterozygous Woman's father = Dd

Let us assume that woman’s mother has normal hearing = dd

Dd * dd

Dd, Dd, dd, dd

Two deaf and two normal offspring.  

Since the penetration is of 70%, the probability of woman being a carrier is  

½ * 70% = 0.35

sveticcg [70]

The lymphatic vessels are thin-walled valvular structures, composed of lymphangions, which carry the lymph from the tissues, via the lymph nodes, to the bloodstream. For this reason, they are analogous to veins and venules.

The lymphatic network is present throughout the body with the exception of the central nervous system and non-vascularized tissues.

It is separated in two circuits: one for the upper right quarter of the body, and one for the rest.

The lymphatic channels join together to form lymphatic vessels more and more voluminous.

Finally, The lymph is drained by two large collectors:

* The right lymphatic canal

* The thoracic duct.

All lymphatics thus end up in the upper vena cava system by two separate circuits.
