HY USMLE Q #495 – Biochemistry — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00how's it going guys we have a past level
- 0:01question for biochemistry for step one
- 0:04okay i know some of these answer choices
- 0:06might look a bit confusing but this is
- 0:08considered a bread and butter
- 0:10important question no excuses so before
- 0:13we get started please subscribe my
- 0:14channel i really appreciate it good
- 0:15video like i really appreciate it follow
- 0:16me on instagram at melbourne underscore
- 0:18medical mehl at man underscore medical
- 0:20links down below find me on telegram
- 0:22links the telegram group and channel are
- 0:23down below don't start the clip
- 0:24four-year-old boy he has a history of
- 0:26fractures and our image shows us blue
- 0:28sclera okay i mean this is a
- 0:31high yield diagnosis past level as i
- 0:33said for
- 0:34osteogenesis imperfecta okay it's a
- 0:37collagen one defect so let's just block
- 0:40the dance choice here we'll go backwards
- 0:41choice impaired desmosine crosslinking
- 0:43wrong [ __ ] answer this in theory
- 0:45would refer to an elastin problem okay
- 0:48you could be aware that desmozine is a
- 0:50protein within elastin okay unlike
- 0:54collagen it does not have a glycine xy
- 0:57primary structure it does not form a
- 1:00triple helix it does not contain
- 1:02carbohydrate okay so
- 1:04uh elastin defect could refer to in
- 1:07theory williams syndrome autosomal
- 1:09dominant chromosome seven uh
- 1:11supravalvular aortic stenosis elephant
- 1:13like faces hypercalcemia vitamin d
- 1:16hypersensitivity
- 1:17wrong [ __ ] answer
- 1:20choice d gtpa's constitutive activity
- 1:22wrong answer could refer to in theory
- 1:25cross k-r-a-s mutated some colon cancers
- 1:29where uh constitutive activity means
- 1:31it's always on you need to cleave gtp
- 1:33into gdp to shut off gtp aces and you
- 1:36can't do that in crass wrong [ __ ]
- 1:38answer should i see like a protein
- 1:40forming disserate sheets around a last
- 1:42and wrong answer you need to know that
- 1:44marfan syndrome which codes for uh or to
- 1:47defect in fiberline autosomal dominant
- 1:48chromosome 15 fpn1 fbn2 you need to know
- 1:51fiberlin is a glycoprotein that forms a
- 1:54sheath around elastin okay nothing to do
- 1:56with collagen i want you to memorize
- 1:57that fibrillin is a glycoprotein that
- 2:00forms a sheath around elastin there's an
- 2:01old nvme exam for step one nbme 12 or 13
- 2:06one of the old forms where they asked
- 2:08about marfin syndrome the answer was
- 2:09literally quote uh glycoprotein that
- 2:11forms a sheath around elastin that's
- 2:14fibrillin wrong [ __ ] answer
- 2:16choice b glycemic tryptophan
- 2:18substitution is correct okay so this is
- 2:20osteogenesis and perfect as i said uh
- 2:22defect in collagen one this is not the
- 2:24only potential mechanism for oa for oi
- 2:28nor does the usmle actually give a [ __ ]
- 2:31okay don't worry about omg this specific
- 2:35glycemic return substitution it's not
- 2:36that it's just this is the only answer
- 2:39that refers to
- 2:41collagen in this case they could have
- 2:43had an answer such as impaired
- 2:45hydroxylation of collagen residues or
- 2:47impaired glycosylation of collagen
- 2:49residues or impaired formation of the
- 2:51triple helix collagen residues impaired
- 2:54ability to cleave the
- 2:56non-triple helix end groups from
- 3:00exocytosed collagen okay so
- 3:02people get pulled into it's the force
- 3:04for the trees type of thing people get
- 3:06pulled into these nitpicky mechanisms
- 3:08when in reality it's just this is the
- 3:10only one that could explain a defect in
- 3:12collagen in this case okay so you can
- 3:15get conductive hearing loss uh impaired
- 3:17formation of the ossicles the middle ear
- 3:19bones
- 3:20and blue sclera classic fractures at
- 3:23different stages of healing
- 3:25and often mistaken for child abuse you
- 3:27have to think of differentials
- 3:29such as albers schoenberg syndrome
- 3:31that's osteoporosis okay in child abuse
- 3:33as i said uh and it can be there's
- 3:35different types of oi okay if you were
- 3:37to wiki you're like wow there's like
- 3:39eight to twelve types however many
- 3:40differing severities okay it can be
- 3:43fatal in utero as well for harder
- 3:45questions they can mention a woman who's
- 3:46had a prior miscarriage okay and the
- 3:49implication being maybe there was a
- 3:51variant somehow of the oi where it was
- 3:53worse in utero okay so let's just whip
- 3:55the last answer choice desmoglian
- 3:57binding of calcium wrong answer this in
- 3:59theory could refer to pemphigus vulgaris
- 4:02okay desmoglian is a protein in
- 4:05uh desmosomes okay and desmoglian is
- 4:08part of the cad herein family of
- 4:12connective tissue molecules
- 4:14so that would catherines are calcium
- 4:17dependent okay
- 4:18so whereas of course uh boles typhoid
- 4:21hemidesmosomes
- 4:23you know the deal and to make more
- 4:25content if you like my stuff subscribe
- 4:26my channel and appreciate your time
- 4:28that's it
