powerpoint about a genetic disorder
Introduction
Genetic disorders are the result of genetic abnormalities such as gene mutation or changes in structure or number of chromosomes. The effects of abnormalities in an individual’s DNA were once entirely unpredictable. Some genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X -chromosome, others are caused by autosomal genes. The person who inherits a genetic disorder will suffer a lot in his/her life; Karyotype helps researchers to detect the genetic disorders. Research in this field is going on in many labs all over the world to solve these problems. In this project you will search the net to get more information about the genetic disorder that you selected. These are some examples of genetic disorders that you can select from.
GENETIC DISORDERS:
- Hemophilia 2- Type-1 diabetes 3- Down syndrome
4- Canavan disease. 5- Huntington’s disease 6- Cystic fibrosis.
7- Familial hypercholesterolemia
