About these flashcards

This flashcard set covers advanced genetic concepts and maternal-child nursing care at the university level. It delves into genetic testing, chromosome structures, and disorders, focusing on terms like gene, chromosome, and testing. The flashcards also explore the developing baby, placenta, and uterine structures, including key terms like membrane, sperm, and placenta. This set is ideal for nursing students and healthcare professionals who need to understand genetic conditions, fetal development, and maternal health to provide informed care and support.

Examination of the markers that are co-inherited with a gene that causes a genetic condition

Linkage analysis

Examination of the protein products of genes

Biochemical testing

Examination of chromosomes

Cytogenetic testing

Genetic testing that is used to clarify the genetic status of asymptomatic family members

Predictive testing

Genetic testing used to detect a disorder that is certain to appear if the defective gene is present and the individual lives long enough

Presymptomatic testing

Genetic testing used to detect susceptibility to a disorder if the defective gene is present

Predispositional testing

Test used to identify individuals who have a gene mutation for a genetic condition but do not show symptoms of the condition because it is a condition that is inherited in an autosomal recessive form

Carrier screening

Use of genetic information to individiualize drug therapy

Pharmacogenomics

Therapy used to correct defective genes that are responsible for disease development; the most common technique is to insert a normal gene in a location within the genome to replace a gene that is non-functional

Gene (Transfer) Therapy

Matched chromosomes

Homologous

Tern that denotes a indivdual with two copies of the same allele for a given trait

Homozygous

If two alelles are different then a person is said to be ____ for the trait

heterozygous

The genetic makeup of an individual; an individual's entire genetic makeup or all the genes taht the perosn can pass on to future generations

Genotype

Observable expression of an individual's genetic makeup

Phenotype

Pictorial analysis of the number, form, and size of an individual's chromsomes

Karyotype

Pattern of inheritance involving a combination of genetic and environmental factors

Multifactoral

Pattern of inheritance in which a single gene controls a particular trait, disorder, or defect

Unifactoral

Genetic disorder in which only one copy of a variant allele is needed for phenotypic expression

Autosomal dominance

Genetic disorder in which both genes of a pair must be abnormal for the disorder to be expressed

Autosomal recessive

Disorder reflecting absent or defective enzymes leading to abnormal metabolism

Inborn error of metabolism

Union of a single egg and sperm. It marks the beginning of a pregnancy.
