Exam 10: Nutritional Genomics

Case Study Mr.and Mrs.G come into an outpatient nutrition counseling center due to referral from their genetic physician.They have both been tested for several genetic conditions due to their family history and concern over developing chronic diseases.Mrs.G is particularly concerned due to the history of cancer in her family on both her mother's and father's sides. -Should Mrs G decide to supplement with the above nutrient, she should be cautioned that in those with her SNP plus an additional SNP (which she may have), high intakes are associated with higher risk for:

The recent advent of _____ technology permits large-scale exploration of the effects of diet on the expression of thousands of genes

It has been shown that for those people with an inherited APC gene, which is associated with various GI tract tumors, supplementation of _____ has a protective effect

The primary difficulty in predicting the benefits of dietary changes and how they will affect gene expression is:

Which of the following disorders are extremely rare, occurring only in males as a result of the inheritance of mutations in the Y chromosome from the father?

One of the greatest challenges for the RD in the emerging field of nutrigenomics is:

The genetic material lies within each nucleus of each cell in the body except:
