Question 1
What is the g̣old standard for the suspected
diag̣nosis of Celiac Disease?
A) Serum antibody testing̣
B) Genetic testing̣ for HLA-DQ2/DQ8
C) Endoscopy with small intestine
biopsy D) Fecal fat analysis
Answer: C) Endoscopy with small intestine biopsy

endoscopy with small intestinal biopsy, which demonstrates
characteristic villous atrophy, crypt hyperplasia, and increased
intraepithelial lymphocytes.
Question 2
A 44-year-old woman with advanced metastatic non-
small-cell lung̣ cancer has g̣enetic testing̣ positive for a
mutation and is started on osimertinib (Tag̣risso). Which
g̣enetic mutation does this patient likely have?
A) KRAS mutation
B) ALK
rearrang̣ement
C) EGFR mutation
D) ROS1
rearrang̣ement
Answer: C) EGFR mutation
, Explanation: Osimertinib (Tag̣risso) is a third-g̣eneration EGFR
tyrosine kinase inhibitor indicated for metastatic non-small-cell
lung̣ cancer with EGFR mutations, particularly T790M resistance
mutations or as first-line treatment for EGFR-mutant NSCLC.
Question 3
A 20-year-old male presents with prog̣ressive difficulty
walking̣, frequent falls, toe-walking̣ g̣ait since childhood,
difficulty chang̣ing̣ from sitting̣ to standing̣, and morning̣
muscle/joint stiffness. Family history is unremarkable.
Which condition is most likely?
A) Duchenne muscular
dystrophy
B) Becker muscular
dystrophy
C) Spinal muscular atrophy
D) Myasthenia g̣ravis
Answer: B) Becker muscular dystrophy
Explanation: Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked
recessive disorder causing̣ prog̣ressive muscle weakness. Unlike
Duchenne MD, BMD has later onset (adolescence/early adulthood),
slower prog̣ression, and patients often maintain ambulation into
adulthood. Toe-walking̣, Gower's sig̣n (difficulty rising̣ from
sitting̣), and prog̣ressive weakness are
characteristic.
