Question 1

my wife was diagonised with aml and her peripheral blood report for genetic analysis for aml shows all test negative please advice?

Accepted Answer

AML is: Evaluated with molecular tests such as flt 3 itd npm1. Most important if the bm cytogenetic s were normal. Look at the AML info at lls.Org.

Question 2

my doughter 2 years old last year he was diagnosed with hepat b.we did the re-check and the results of the analysis are:1.the analyzed sample is negative for the presence of viral dna. 2. ast 28 u/l alt 12.1 u/l tbil) 0.29 mg/dl. what does it mean ?

Accepted Answer

: Negative DNA suggests your daughter's hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is not active, but othere tests are needed to be certain (surface antigen, surface antibody, core antibody). The others are tests of liver function and are normal:  if she still has HBV, it's not causing significant liver damage. Discuss further with her doctor; if uncertain, see an infectious disease doc or liver specialist.

Question 3

my doughter 2 years old last year he was diagnosed with hepat b.we did the re-check and the results of the analysis are:1.the analyzed sample is negative for the presence of viral dna. 2. ast 28 u/l alt 12.1 u/l tbil) 0.29 mg/dl. what does it mean ?

Accepted Answer

: Repeat question. See previous reply.

Question 4

my doughter 2 years old last year he was diagnosed with hepat b.we did the re-check and the results of the analysis are:1.the analyzed sample is negative for the presence of viral dna. 2. ast 28 u/l alt 12.1 u/l tbil) 0.29 mg/dl. what does it mean ?

Accepted Answer

: I would question why the Hep B label was given. If she received the Hep B vaccine at birth as most do in the US she would have antibodies to hep B but no virus.

Question 5

diagnosed with morganella morganii from dna urine analysis. primary said i cant do gentamicin due to kidney disease. and my analysis is resistant to any antibiotic by mouth. what can i do to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

: There are  antibiotics other than gentamycin class which can also treat this. Sensitivity report is very important. Suggest see a Urologist to find why you have this and proper treatment. Good luck

Question 6

nebula whole genome sequencing report says that i have very strong (100th percentile) genetic disposition for breast cancer and melanoma. i always have extremely dense breast and neg mammo. does the wgs analysis change my cancer screening plan?

Accepted Answer

: This needs highest level expertise from a medical genetics expert or other specialist with top expertise and experience in these cancers. To my knowledge, no such expertise exists among HealthTap consultants. Ask your doctor for referral. (Your zip code indicates you are near Palo Alto:  Stanford medicine and/or the Palo Alto Medical Foundation undoubtedly have the expertise you need. Good luck.

Question 7

do genes determine aversions to foods?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Certain genes allow foods to 'taste' the way they do to people. Though the majority of taste preferences are learned behaviors.

Question 8

what happens when your p53 genes are overactive?

Accepted Answer

Bad information: Mutated p53 passed from parent to child is underactive and predisposes one to early and unusual cancers. As a cancer develops, p53 activity is often lost through mutation. There's a mutant mouse with overactive p53 that seems to age rapidly because p53 clears cells that may be injured. Don't worry about it.

Question 9

what are hox genes and their role in development?

Accepted Answer

Hox genes: not enough room here to give good answer. I would go to wikipedia and then if you need more information go yto https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ and search hox genes AND reviews.

Question 10

what percentage of genes can you inherit from your grandparents?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You get one half of your genes from your mom and one half from your father - as they did in the generation before. So, 1/8 from each grandparent - assuming there is no incest. However - many genes are similar - so you get the bulk of your genes as a common pool for all humans - we really are all alike on the inside
