Research using the Internet, going tothe two websites listed under General Listing of Genetic Disorders first. http://mccants.anderson5.net/cputman/discovering_genetic_disorders___.htm

Discovering Genetic Disorders The Task You are to choose a genetic disorder to research in order to create a Power Point presentation. Step One - Choose a Disorder The disorder you choose can either come from the list provided below or from your own knowledge (with teacher approval). Step Two - Research your Disorder and Answer the Questions for the Power Point Procedures for Research 1. Begin research in Encarta, then move to on-line encyclopedias via the McCants web-site - Link Resources - Research and References. (Research through at least two different encyclopedia resources.) 2. Research using the Internet, going to the two web-sites listed under General Listing of Genetic Disorders first. Once these sites have been exhausted, go to associated web-sites - if your disorder has a direct link below the name of the disorder. If not, ONLY WITH PERMISSION , you may use a search engine to find web-sites. Also gather permission before going to another web-site not pre-approved by the teacher or computer facilitator. Step Three - Create a Power Point Presentation Create a total of eight slides answering the specific questions about your chosen disorder using the attached rubric for a guide.

Genetic disorders [ back to keyword index Biotech Biotech is a biotechnology resource for teachers of post-16 biology, which is comprised of a pack of six cards that aims to examine the technology and concerns associated with developments in genetics. Topics covered include: transgenic plants and their uses; new diagnostics; environmental biotechnology; biomedical biotechnology and development of new therapies; the genetics of neuroscience research; the human genome; microbial and plants genomes, and genetic testing and the ethical issues raised. The individual cards in the Biotech pack together with the teacher’s notes can be downloaded as separate Pdf’s for which Adobe Acrobat is required. The pack is sponsored by the Wellcome Trust, BBSRC, Biochemical Society, the Society for General Microbiology and the ABPI.

As well as information about the work of CaF, the site provides access to the CaF Directory, a database which includes conditions and syndromes for which there are some family support networks. Each entry contains a short medical description of the condition together with details of inheritance patterns and pre- natal diagnosis. This information is followed by details of the related support networks: their activities; publications; and what they offer to families. It is a subscription service, but limited free access is available.

General Information on Genes, Nutrition and Disease Recommended Book: Genetic Nutritioneering by Jeffrey S. Bland with Sara H. Benum. How you can modify inherited traits and live a longer, healthier life. An interesting book about using nutrition and other lifestyle changes to overcome inherited health risks. ( more books Overview Many researchers and support groups state that birth defects and genetic disorders, especially connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome , can't possibly be cured through diet because they are inherited genetic disorders. This conclusion is invalid simply because many birth defects and inherited genetic disorders have been found to be improved, or even cured, through diet. The old school of thinking that a birth defect or inherited disorder had to be caused by a single gene is no longer widely held in medical circles. The breakthrough concept in research is that many birth defects and inherited disorders are influenced by both genes and environmental factors, especially nutrition. Genes may make people susceptible to certain defects and disorders, but they are often only a part of the picture.
