Numerous studies have suggested an association between elevated levels of circulating homocysteine and various vascular and cardiovascular disorders. In addition, tHcy levels also are related to birth defects, pregnancy complications, psychiatric disorders,and mental impairment in the elderly. Clinically the measurement of tHcy is considered important (1) to diagnose homocystinuria, (2) to identify individuals with or at a risk of developing...

The answer is e. (Murray, pp 812-828. Scriver, pp 3-45. Sack, pp 97-158. Wilson, pp 23-39.) If two individuals in a sibship are affected with an autosomal dominant disease, then the usual implication is that one of the parents has the abnormal allele. Parents with one normal and one abnormal allele have a 50% chance of transmitting the abnormal allele with each pregnancy. Complicating the recognition of autosomal dominant inheritance are incomplete penetrance, where there are no signs of the disease phenotype after all relevant medical evaluations, and variable expressivity, where a parent may have more subtle disease than the offspring.
