Read the attached Pharmacogenetics/genomics article attached. Write the Title/author and synopsis of the article.

1. Provide your thoughts about the contents based on your own perspective as well as from the lens of your specialty ACNP.

You will create a 1-2 page study guide for Chapter 5. Please consider the following when making your study guide: It should not be over two (2) pages. It should have most or all of the relevant terms and concepts from the chapter. When helpful, it should contain important visuals. Try to make it aesthetically pleasing by being consistent with font sizes, colors, and formatting. Consider using graphic organizers when appropriate. These can include tables, concept maps, etc. PLEASE DO NOT put output style of the notes with the specific section headers and phrasing of some of the bulleted points and no underline in middle of the words

Family History and Pedigree Construction Project

Assignment Purpose: Family history can reveal critical information necessary to ascertain correct diagnosis(es) and management plan development. Understanding how to garner accurate and pertinent information during patient and/or family interviews is essential in having useful information. Pedigrees (genograms) are schematic versions of family histories. They allow us to quickly scan generations, family members (immediate and remote) to determine symptoms, phenotypical, syndrome, disease, etc. presence or absence. This assignment allows students to review a mock family history and then create a pedigree reflecting the contained information.

1. Review the attached Fabry Disease family history scenario.
2. Pedigree Construction: Pedigree construction software is not required for this assignment. You may elect to utilize PowerPoint, pedigree/genogram software, or hand draw the pedigree. RFFlow has a free 30-day trial version of its software. This is not specifically genetic pedigree software; however, you can utilize the drawing features to create one.

If you elect to draw the pedigree, please ensure that it is neatly drawn with no cross through marks. Pedigrees submitted with illegible handwriting or cross-through marks will not be graded and will receive a zero. You are welcome to utilize legends to denote symptoms/disease processes within your pedigree(s).

Do not, however, add the symbols for males, females, and other standard symbols seen in pedigrees. Legends should be used for specific disease states, conditions, etc.

Construct a pedigree reflective of what is noted in the mock family history while also using a comprehensive symptoms-based approach.

This helps you understand the process. A comprehensive symptoms-based approach means that you include *all* family history, signs/symptoms, and other available information in your pedigree. Focused pedigrees focus only on signs/symptoms/family history associated with a specific disorder.

As you begin practice, you can use the more specific disease specific pedigree construction approach.

Do not assume that symptoms are not important.

Focused pedigrees will be given a zero.

Please make sure you appropriately identify the proband and/or consultand within the pedigree with the appropriate nomenclature.

Use the rubric attached to ensure 5 points will be given.

Write a report in plain English (using correct grammar) explaining each step using figures as appropriate. ( I have provided the figures below that you will need) At the end of the report, write a paragraph that discusses the phylogenetic history of the species in your data set.

o Your report should answer the questions listed below.

1. (6 pts) What is your gene and its structure? (minimum 150 200 words max)

2. (6 pts) How would you describe primate evolution based on the topology and branch lengths you obtained?

(minimum 150 200 words max)

3. (8 pts) What is the accuracy of your phylogenetic history? (minimum 350 400 words max)

This journal assignment measures your mastery of ULO 3.2. Watch the Biological “Software” video segment. In your own words, give a brief overview of what epigenetics is based on what you learned from the video. Consider your own genetics and the environment in which you grew up or even the environment in which your parents grew up. Do you think either of these environments has had an impact on your health or personality? Or do you feel that your upbringing and life choices have had a greater impact? Explain why or why not. Submit your response as an attached Word document. Your response must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary.
