Topics you should include in your
presentation:
Slide 1
Title Slide with Name, Course and Date
Slide 2- Introduction
Name and describe your chosen disorder. What happens to the body as a result of
this disorder? What part or parts of the body does the disorder generally
affect? How many people are generally affected in the US (or worldwide)?
Slides 3-4
Describe the symptoms of the disorder. What happens in the body to cause the
disease? Is it a mutation? How is it inherited? Is it recessive or dominant or
sex-linked? Is it triggered by other events? Find 1-2 images to illustrate the
symptoms or cause of the disorder.
Slides 5-6
How is the disorder diagnosed? What tests are done? Is genetic counseling an
option?
Slide 7
How is the disorder treated? Discuss medications, gene therapy, etc. Include an
image to support your research.
Slide 8- Application of
research
Summarize new findings about your chosen disorder by researching current
articles. What new information did you learn about your chosen disorder?
Include the resource(s).
Slide 9 – Conclusion
Summarize your project findings.
Slide 10—References
