a) in the child, b) the parent (if suspected) could signal child abuse? If you were almost certain that James was a victim of abuse, what would be your course of action? |

Many genetic studies have been done investigating possible genetic causality and heretibality for T1D and T2D.
Comment on the genetics of the two diseases, noting if one has a stronger genetic component and/or pattern of heritability. |
Both Type I and Type II diabetes have a genetic component, but it is larger in Type I.
The inheritance of Type II diabetes is complex, and involves many genes. Concordance is high in monozygotic twins suggesting a high level of heritability, however it is also high in dizygotic twins, which suggests a large contribution from environment. Type I diabetes involves genes in the HLA region, which is a major locus for control of the immune system. Heritability is very high, especially in monozygotic twins. |

Differences between confidentiality & privacy
|
Confidentiality = Doctor-patient relationship, includes everything discussed between the two people, information which may or may not be considered private information. We aren't allowed to disclose anything that can be traced back to patients (even implicitly) and if we do they can charge us for it, regardless of whether harm occurred.
Privacy =refers to our right to control what information of ours is disseminated (implying that the info was taken, not given willingly), and applies to everyone. So anyone can sue another person for breach of privacy, but they have to prove harm was done. Summary: i.e. Confidentiality protects Communication, Privacy protects the Person (autonomy, control of own information, etc) |
