OpenStudy (playa):

the genotype most associated with all mutated LDL receptor is a.ff b.Ff c.FF d.all of these gentoypes would have mutated receptors

OpenStudy (somy):

@Abhisar

OpenStudy (somy):

can u tell me what was LDL?

OpenStudy (playa):

bad cholesterol

OpenStudy (somy):

i feel like it's not enough info

OpenStudy (somy):

FF would be dominant and ff would be recessive

OpenStudy (playa):

yea srry im trying to figure it out maybe Ff

OpenStudy (playa):

yes you are right

OpenStudy (somy):

Ff would be a mixture of FF and Ff which means 50% possibility of having LDL

OpenStudy (somy):

FF and ff*

OpenStudy (playa):

yes so would it ber Ff?yes 50 chance

OpenStudy (somy):

hmm i don't know i feel like FF

OpenStudy (playa):

mutated ldl recepptors a mixture right so not ff or FF or all these genetypes have mutated receptors and it leaves b

OpenStudy (playa):

@Abhisar

OpenStudy (somy):

because dominant is the one that rules basically thus most associated i think i dunno T_T

OpenStudy (abhisar):

brb

OpenStudy (somy):

in 50&% case there is a possibility of not having LDL that's why i think its dominant FF

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It's Ff

OpenStudy (somy):

hmmm why

OpenStudy (abhisar):

because Heterozygous FH is a common genetic disorder, inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, occurring in 1:500 people in most countries; homozygous FH is much rarer, occurring in 1 in a million births.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

FH means familial hypercholesterolemia

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Its a genetic disease in which LDL receptors are effected

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Is that clear :( ?

OpenStudy (playa):

so its FF oh ok

OpenStudy (playa):

@Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No its Ff

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Ff is more common

OpenStudy (somy):

mmm
