What would be observed in the event of loss of heterozygosity?

Polymorphisms in the HLA locus arise primarily through which type of genetic event?

Mutations in the VHL gene are associated with what condition?

In a complement-dependent cytotoxicity assay, lymphocytes were incubated in the presence of antibody of known HLA specificity. Complement was added, and the cells absorbed trypan blue stain. What is the interpretation of this assay?

HLA is an abbreviation for what term?

A 57-year-old female sought medical attention for chronic fatigue, weight loss, and bone pain. Tissue from an abnormal mass was sent to the molecular diagnostics laboratory. Results from flow cytometry indicated the presence of a kappa-restricted B-cell population consistent with lymphoma. To aid in the diagnosis, the sample was further tested for immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene rearrangements by PCR. After electrophoresis of the PCR product, a smear pattern similar to lane 2 in Figure 13-22 was observed.   What is the interpretation of the gel pattern with the smear? 

T-cell receptor gene rearrangements were analyzed by PCR using forward and reverse primers complementary to the Vg1 and Jg1 regions, respectively, of the T-cell receptor gene region. The products were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and bands visualized using ethidium bromide. The lane corresponding to the patient had a sharp band. All controls were acceptable. How is this result interpreted?

A patient is assessed for B-cell clonality by examining the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements using PCR with primers complementary to the variable and joining regions of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene. When the products are resolved by gel electrophoresis, the patient lane has a smear and does not have a sharp band. Controls were all acceptable. This result is interpreted as which of the following?
