Name: _____________________________ Period:____________ Genetic Disorder/Disease Project Resources (4) in proper format due: Friday, 5/8. (Save in Science folder of Student Google account under “Genetics Resources”.) Slideshow & Oral Presentation Due: Wed, 5/13. (Use Google Drive “Slide” to create your slideshow, and save in Science folder of your Student Google account under “Genetics Project”.) Oral presentations: 5/13-5/15. Many human diseases and disorders are considered genetic. This means that they may have inherited a gene or a combination of genes that predisposes to them to having an “error” in their DNA called a mutation. The mutation could be a missing or added section of DNA, or DNA that is improperly coded. Or, they may have inherited an incorrect number of complete chromosomes. Each student should select one genetic disorder to research and create a slideshow (minimum 8 slides) that shares all of the required information and facts about the disease. All slides should have titles and key information and pictures. Do not write lengthy sentences or paragraphs on your slides, info should be concise and bulleted – save the detailed information for when you deliver your oral report. Slide 1 - Title slide The name of the disease, and a nickname or other name that is commonly associated with the disease (for instance, Amyotrophic Lateral Schlerosis is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease). A subtitle that gives an instant idea what the disease is like ( kind of like a slogan) A picture associated with the disease Your (student’s) first and last name Slide 2 - Symptoms Name all major symptoms associated with the disease (for example, a runny nose is a symptom of a cold). What are symptoms patients who suffer from this disease have? MINIMUM OF 3. One corresponding picture Slide 3 – What is life like for the patient? Describe the quality of life of a person with the disease (for example, they use a wheelchair, they cannot eat any sugary food or drink, etc.) Life expectancy – to what AGE are people with the disease expected to live? One corresponding picture Slide 4 – Genetic causes of the disease Type of mutation on which gene or specific chromosome that causes the disease, or is thought to cause the disease. Be specific! How is it inherited? (recessive, sex-linked, incorrect # chromosomes, etc.) Describe briefly. One corresponding picture Slide 5 – Statistics How common is the disease - What percentage of people get the disease? Is the disease more common in certain genders, races and regions? Why? What is the survival rate or percentage? (NOT the same as life expectancy.) One corresponding picture, diagram or a graph Slide 6 – Non-genetic treatments Name/describe at least three treatments given to patients given to help them with their symptoms. (For example, patients may be given certain drugs, physical therapy, etc. to help them) One corresponding picture Slide 7 – Genetic treatments and research Name any current or future treatments for the disease that involve genetics (for example, stem-cells, gene therapy, etc.) What is the most current research being done to help or cure people with this disease? Name one. One corresponding picture Slide 8 – Cite resources IN PROPER MLA FORMAT Cite a minimum of 4 resources in APA format (not Wikipedia) At least one of the 4 resources must be a book. Get a Superior Creativity Score and possibly some extra credit by adding more slides! (Here are some ideas) Foundations or non-profit organizations that are involved in funding research and support for patients Names and descriptions of a well-known people who have had the disease Extra interesting facts, figures, graphs, etc. As you do your research, keep in mind that you will also be PRESENTING YOUR POWERPOINT! This means that you’ll have to talk about each bullet point and picture in depth, including many details. Write down ideas about what you will say during your presentation to communicate the details behind each bullet point. The presentation should be a minimum of 4 minutes so be prepared! Powerpoint – 50 points Presentation – 50 points (Rubric will be handed out at least 1 week before oral presentation is due) Total = 100 points! Genetic Diseases and Disorders to choose from…or get Mrs. Hopkins to OK one that is not on this list): Achondroplasia (common form of dwarfism) Albinism Alzheimer’s Disease Amytrophic lateral schlerosis or ALS – Lou Gherig’s Disease Cancers – there are many different types – please see Mrs. Hopkins to verify the cancer you select is genetic Crohn’s Disease Cystic Fibrosis Down Syndrome Diabetes Type I Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Epilepsy Glaucoma Hemophilia Huntington Disease (leads to dementia) Leukemia, chronic myeloid Marfan Syndrome Multiple Schlerosis Neurofibromatosis Parkinson’s Disease Red-Green colorblindness (sex-linked) Rett Syndrome Schizophrenia Sickle-cell anemia Tay-Sachs Disease Tourette’s Syndrome
