Select questions (15)

Normally, all words in an exercise is used when performing the test and playing the games. You can choose to include only a subset of the words. This setting affects both the regular test, the games, and the printable tests.

All None

  • defect in a protein that functions as a chloride ion channel --> ion channel doesnt work cystic fibrosis
  • gain of function and overactivation of the FGFR3 gene --> leads to inhibition of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation achondroplasia
  • gain of function of FGFR3 gene, ossification is slowed down however this is the least severe variant of its kind hypochondroplasia
  • this pathology has overactivation of the FGFR3 protein which means that this receptor can work even without its ligand (fibroblast growth factors), leads to severe pathology SADDAN
  • FGFR3 overactivation, short limbs, narrow chest and underdevelopment of thorax thanatophoric dysplasia
  • reduced expression of LDL receptor/reduced affinity of receptor and LDL, loss of function familial hypercholesterolemia
  • patient lacks the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase, which means that person cannot turn porphyrin into heme, loss of function variegate porphyria
  • the normal function of HFE is defect, dysregulation of iron metabolism haemochromatosis
  • deficiency of enzyme phenylalanine oxidase --> accumulation of phenylalanine, cannot break down phenylalanine phenylketonuria
  • it is caused by mutations in the LAMP2 gene, leading to impaired autophagy and lysosomal dysfunction, causes accumulation of autophagic vacuoles danon disease
  • deletion of the AZF (azoospermia factor) of the gene azoospermia, oligozoospermia
  • The SHOX protein plays a critical role in regulating chondrocyte differentiation and bone formation, and mutations in the SHOX gene disrupt these processes, resulting in short stature and skeletal abnormalities leri weil syndrome
  • caused by genetic mutations affecting the genes responsible for the production of photopigments (opsin) in cone cells of the retina. daltonism
  • factor VIII 8 is missing (not produced properly or in reduced amount), thus interrupting the cascade and leading to a deficiency in the coagulation activity and a continuous bleeding. haemophilia A
  • factor IX 9 is missing, thus interrupting the cascade and leading to a deficiency in the coagulation activity and a continuous bleeding. Loss of function! haemophilia B
