Create screening method for cystic fibrosis

Reference no: EM1389884

Assume you construct a screening method for cystic fibrosis that allows you to identify the predominant mutation?508 and the next six most prevalent mutations.

What must you consider before using this method to screen a population for this disorder?

Check all that apply.

	the possibility of false negative results in persons who have chromosome number abberations
	the cost-effectiveness of screening a large population for CF mutations
	the possibility of false negative results in persons who carry the gene for CF in the form of differently mutated alleles
	the possibility of false negative results in persons who carry no gene for CF
	the possibility of false positive results in persons who carry the same mutations in non-coding regions of DNA
