Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
On May 21, 2008, President George W. Bush signed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) to protect Americans against discrimination based upon their genetic information when it comes to health insurance and employment, paving the way for patient personalized genetic medicine without fear of discrimination (National Human Genome Research Institute 2012).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The majority of cancers are sporadic or multifactorial due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors; however, approximately 5 to 10 of all cancers are due to a single-gene mutation (Garber & Offit 2005).
