BIO 101 Module 3 Discussion

Discussion: Genetic Testing

Discussion Topic

Several years ago, a small number of companies in the United States began selling DNA testing kits directly to consumers (referred to as DTC) via the Internet. This market was made possible, in part, by the decreasing costs of genome analysis. DTC testing generally does not produce a full genome sequence, like the Human Genome Project; rather, companies often look at sites in the genome that commonly differ between individuals, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Companies offer a broad array of tests that report on a person’s ancestry and health, as well as a number of other traits. Whether people should be able to access their genetic information directly from a company is at the center of an on-going debate amongst doctors, patients, ethicists, politicians and regulatory bodies, such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

1. Would you want to know more about your own genetic make-up? Why or why not?
2. Should people be allowed to order a direct-to-consumer kit to learn about their genetic make-up on their own, or should people have to go through a doctor? Explain.
3. Should the government regulate the sale of direct-to-consumer genetic tests? Explain.

BIO 101 Module 3 SLP

You have already completed a basic study about genetics and mutations. For this assignment you will research a specific genetic disorder and create a PowerPoint to explain the disorder by addressing the information outlined below. Potential disorder topics are found in the table. You may also use the link provided below the table to begin your research.

List of possible Genetic Disorders to Research:

Achondroplasia (Dwarfism) Albinism Adrenal hyperplasia Autism/ Asperger syndrome Cystic Fibrosis Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy Familial Dysautonomia Gardner syndrome (intestinal polyposis) Gaucher’s Disease Hemophilia Huntington’s Disease Jacobsen Syndrome Klinefelters Syndrome

Klippel-Feil Syndrome Leukodystrophy Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS) Marfan Syndrome Moebius Syndrome Polycystic Kidney Disease Progeria Proteus syndrome Retinoblastoma Rett’s Syndrome Sickle cell anemia Spinocerebellar Ataxia Tay-Sach’s Disease Tourette Syndrome Turner Syndrome

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
Please provide your sources in APA format.
