DNA and Genetic Testing — Understanding & Application

Question 1 · DNA variants and sequencing

What does exome sequencing focus on?

Question 2 · Risk is not a certain prediction

What is a limitation of a genetic result?

Question 3 · Samples and genetic counseling

Who can explain benefits and limitations?

Question 4 · Using results in care decisions

How might increased genetic risk affect care?

Question 5 · DNA variants and sequencing

A learner answers ‘What does exome sequencing focus on?’ with ‘DNA regions with protein-making instructions’. Is that response correct?

Question 6 · Risk is not a certain prediction

A learner answers ‘What is a limitation of a genetic result?’ with ‘Every variant causes severe disease’. Is that response correct?

Question 7 · Samples and genetic counseling

A learner answers ‘Who can explain benefits and limitations?’ with ‘A genetic counselor’. Is that response correct?

Question 8 · Using results in care decisions

A learner answers ‘How might increased genetic risk affect care?’ with ‘All lifestyle choices become irrelevant’. Is that response correct?
