From genetic testing a client learns of having a Y-linked genetic disorder. Which health problem would be explained by this finding?
1. Infertility
2. Hemophilia A
3. Beta-thalassemia
4. Tay-Sachs disease
1
Explanation:
1. Because the Y chromosome has very few genes, alterations on the Y chromosome are not often associated with health problems. The Y chromosome does contain genes associated with spermatogenesis, and alterations in those genes can cause male infertility.
2. Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive disorder.
3. Beta-thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder.
4. Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder.
