The nurse practitioner evaluates a 36 y/o female who presents to the clinic interested in starting on combination ethinyl estradiol-norgestimate oral contraceptive therapy.

In class we discussed a 2015 a modifier screen that led to a new discovery about a cellular mechanism involved in C9orf72 ALS/FTD. Researchers modeled C9orf72 ALS/FTD by expressing (G4C2)30 in the fly eye. 1) Which statement below best summarizes the results of the modifier screen? [C] A. Over-expression of an RNAi against RanGap was a suppressor. B. Over-expression of an RNAi against RanGap was an enhancer. C. Over-expression of RanGap was a suppressor. D. Over-expression of RanGap was an enhancer. E. A knock-out mutation in RanGap was a suppressor. F. A knock-out mutation in RanGap was an enhancer.   2) Which statement is the best conclusion from the above result? [D] A. Dipeptide repeat proteins that arise from a microsatellite expansion in C9orf72 are toxic. B. A microsatellite expansion in C9orf72 disrupts stress granule formation. C. In ALS, proteins with prion-like domains that should undergo reversible liquid-liquid phase separation instead form insoluble aggregates. D. A microsatellite expansion in C9orf72 disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport. E. A microsatellite expansion in C9orf72 disrupts TDP-43 localization.
