Concept prompt: draft due 2/19/16!
How could you increase awareness or raise funds for research supporting your selected genetic disorder? Develop a logo, assistive device, fundraising campaign, slogan, or develop your own idea (with teacher approval) based on your understanding of the genetic disorder. Explain the rationale supporting your concept.

Effective Public Service Announcements (Washington Post), click here
TRU tobacco reality unfiltered, click here (then on the embedded videos)
Healthcare print advertisements, click here
Vintage advertisements, click here

Hand draw or use digital design tools, such as:
Comic Creator
Printing Press

Due 2/4/16- Introductory paragraph with in-text citations, and references; you are starting your research paper! Please write the introduction in the google classroom file "Genetic Disorder Essay" and SUBMIT for grading. You may choose to use the "Planning Guide" file to draft your ideas (not required). Remember, scientific writing is different than other forms of writing. Almost each sentence you write contains information resulting from the work of others; therefore, almost every sentence will require in-text citation (author, year; author, year). Include the references you use in your introduction at the bottom of the paper.

After previewing genetic conditions, please submit your research topic selection by completing the form.
- select a condition which is known to be caused by a single gene (double check at Genetics Home Reference)
- conditions with multiple forms and involving two or more genes will be more challenging to research and explain
- genes names are abbreviated with gene symbols (ex. NGLY1 is the gene symbol for N-glycanase 1)
The following conditions are not available for the project:
cancer and other multifactorial conditions (lupus, stroke, schizophrenia, diabetes, etc.)
congenital cytomegalovirus
congenital disorder of deglycosylation (CDDG)
congenital human immunodeficiency virus
congenital toxoplasmosis
congenital hypothyroidism
cystic fibrosis
chromosomal disorders (Fragile X syndrome, Turner syndrome, Down syndrome, etc)
fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
hemophilia
maple syrup urine disease
Prader Willi/Angelman syndrome
phenylketonuria (PKU)
Pompe disease (acid maltase deficiency or GAA deficiency)
sickle cell anemia and sickle beta thallesemia
Tay-Sachs disease
xeroderma pigmentosum

Paper prompt
What causes a specific genetic disorder? What effect on human health does the disorder have, and how is it inherited? After researching genetics websites on your selected genetic disorder, design a scientific poster in which you describe the phenotype, genetic basis, form of inheritance, and resources available for families of individuals with the genetic disorder. Support your discussion with evidence from your research.
Concept prompt:
How could you increase awareness or raise funds for research supporting your selected genetic disorder? Develop a logo, assistive device, fundraising campaign, or develop your own idea (with teacher approval) based on your understanding of the genetic disorder. Explain the rationale supporting your concept.

When looking for current research, http://clinicaltrials.gov/ and enter the name of your disorder.
When looking for information on testing, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gtr/ provides an overview of available genetic tests.
When looking for information on the history of the disorder, you could find out who described the disorder, when the disorder was described, how many people have the disorder, or anything else historical about your assigned disorder.
When looking for support resources, the website/group/foundation should be focused only on ONE disorder (or a group of closely related disorders). These websites are frequently started by families of individuals with the disorder and serve as advocacy/support groups. Describe the types of resources that are available to assist families/individuals living with the disorder. If you can not find a support website, you may describe the information/support provided by a hospital or government website.
