Question 1

The incidence of Tay Sachs, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is approximately 1 in 3,500 in a certain population of Ashkenazi Jews. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of carriers for the Tay Sachs allele in this population?
◦ 1.5%
◦ 1.7%
◦ 2.9%
◦ 3.3%
◦ 98.5%

Question 2

The incidence of Tay-Sachs, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is approximately 1 in 3,500 in a certain population of Ashkenazi Jews. Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the probability that a phenotypically normal female, with no family history, and a phenotypically normal male, who had an affected sister, will have a child with Tay-Sachs?
◦ 0.028%
◦ 0.49%
◦ 0.55%
◦ 1.96%
◦ 2.2%

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
