  1. Genetic Disorder Project The most important thing is to read the directions! All of them!

  2. Genetic Disorders: • Cystic Fibrosis • Albinism • Tay- Sachs disease • Galactosmia • Huntington’s disease • Achondroplasia • Klinefelters Syndrome • Down Syndrome: • Phenylketonuria (PKU) • Sickle cell disease • Hemophilia Due Per 1,2 Wed 3/12 per 4, 5 Fri 3/14

  3. Example Presentation • Bullet points, minimal text • Simple background • No crazy colors This is an visual aide so you should not be reading off the power point.

  4. Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseases that weaken the musculoskeletal system and hamper locomotion. Muscular dystrophies are characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, defects in muscle proteins, and the death of muscle cells and tissue. Symptoms: Progressive muscular wasting Poor balance Drooping eyelids Atrophy Scoliosis Inability to walk Frequent falls Waddling gait Calf deformation Limited range of movement Respiratory difficulty Joint contractures Cardiomyopathy Arrhythmias Muscle spasms

  6. Muscular Dystrophy Name 1 Name 2 Name 2 Period #

  7. Muscular Dystrophy • Sex linked disease: located on the X sex chromosome • More common in males, all races • 1 in every 3,500 to 5,000 boys Person 1 name

  8. Cause: genetically inherited disease • Body can’t make the protein dystrophin Effects: muscles weaken and eventually stop working • Poor balance • Drooping eyelids • Inability to walk • Muscle spasms • death Person 2 name

  9. Treatment: • No known cure • Physical therapy, exercise, anabolic steroid treatments, or pacemakers can help • Interesting Facts: • 9 types of MD • Pacemaker can be used when heart muscles start not working Person 3 name

  10. Davisson Work Cited • MLA format (each person needs their own work cited slide at the end of the presentation) *this sample presentation is not complete! It is missing information
