CA development

Best description of the genetic contribution to onset of autism
Known causes of autism spectrum include copy number variants and chromosomal
problems
Autism is primarily a result of poor parenting and social interactions

features
Term 8 of 55
Julia age 32 is BRCA1 +, which is known to greatly increase the risk for breast and ovarian CA. She
was tested because her mom who had ovarian CA was BRCA1 + . Julia has decided to have both
her ovaries removed because she believes that in her family, being BRCA1+ increases the risk for
ovarian CA only. How should a genetic counselor respond
Your risk for breast ca may be increased and required nor investigation, however, your risk
for lung cancer is not affected by this history
Insulin dosages should be decreased because the drug will exert its action at lower
concentrations
Clarify that a BRCA1 mutation does not preferentially express ovarian CA over breast CAin
any given family
No, a clinical geneticist is a physician who have completed a fellowship in clinical genetics
