Question

Genetic testing of an asymptomatic woman whose sister is positive for the mutation that is responsible for an autosomal-dominant disorder that has a 70% penetrance rate would fall into which testing category

Answer 1

Answer:

Predictive predisposition

Explanation:

A genetic predisposition is an increased possibility of developing a specific disease based on a person's genetic composition. A genetic predisposition results from certain genetic disparities that are most of the time inherited from a parent. These genetic changes influences the development of a disease but do not directly cause it.

To the question; Asymptomatic means predictive trait.. so with the penetrance rate being on a high level, she would be predisposed to this.
