Download Panel 4 Detection

What must be Included in your presentation board
Panel 6
Introduction – What is the name of the disorder? Are there any other
names by which it is commonly known?
Panel 1
Mode of inheritance – All genetic disorders are inherited. They can
be inherited in several different ways. Determine whether your disorder is
an autosomal dominant trait, an autosomal recessive trait, an X-linked
recessive trait, a chromosomal error or a multifactorial trait (polygenic
disorder). Chromosomal errors may take several types: a particular
missing chromosome (e.g. a missing X chromosome), an extra
chromosome (e.g. an extra chromosome 21), or a damaged chromosome
(e.g. part of a chromosome deleted). A multifactorial disorder is one that
is caused by several genes or by a combination of genetic and
environmental factors.
Panel 2
Clinical description of the disorder – What are the features of the
disorder? How does it affect the victim? What is it like to have the
disorder? How would you describe the disorder to someone else? What is
the disorder like externally, internally, biochemically, psychologically?
What problems are associated with the disorder? Is the disorder
physically limiting? Is it life threatening? Is it invariably fatal? Is it
found more commonly in certain groups of people, such as a particular
ethnic or religious group or particular sex?
Panel 3
Treatment – Can anything be done for the disorder? Can the basic
defect be treated? Can the symptoms or results of the disorder be treated?
Is there a cure for the disorder? Is there any gene therapy for the disorder?
Panel 4
Detection – Can the disorder be detected before its symptoms appear? If
so, how? Can it be detected prenatally? If so, how? Is there any way to
detect a carrier of the disorder? If so, how?
Panel 5
Support – What support groups are available? Are there any
organizations working toward a cure? How can a person help? Where did
you get your information?
