Source #1 _____________________________________________________________________ Source #2 _____________________________________________________________________ Source #3 _____________________________________________________________________ Source #4 _____________________________________________________________________ Source 1.

Is the disease age-related? 7. What type of tests are done to diagnose the disorder? Is genetic counseling available? 8. How can the disorder be treated? Most discoveries are incurable, so what kind of therapies or treatments can patients have in order to deal with their disorders? 9. Include other interesting facts about the disorder. 10. Given what you now know about this genetic disorder. What medical advice would you give to a couple in the following scenarios? a. The woman is 37 years old and wants to have a child with her partner. What is the risk of the child having the disorder you studied? b. The family already has one child with the disorder. Should the family have another child naturally? Why or why not? c.
