3. Assume that alleles A, B, C, D, and E are associated with predisposition to pancreatic cancer. Individua enotypes mate: AABbccDdEe X AaBbCcDdee For each of the cases below, calculate the probability of producing a child with the given genotype, then assess the predisposition of that child to cancer based on the following Every allele A adds 1% to the cancer risk, every allele B adds 396, every allele C adds 1.5%, every allele D adds 0.75%, and every allele E adds 1.25%. Individuals with none of the allele have a risk of 1.5%. Is with the following & a) AABBccddEE b) AABbccDDee c) AabbCcDdEeExplanation / Answer
Answer
By applying sum rule
a) for AABBccddEE
1+1 + 3+3 +0+0 + 0+0 + 1.25+1.25 =10.5%
b) AABbccDDee
1+1 + 3+0 + 0+0 + 0.75+0.75 + 0+0= 6.5%
c) AabbCcDdEe
1+0 + 0+0 + 1.5+0 + 0.75+0 + 1.25+0 =4.5%
