1. Description of the type of inheritance: autosomal or sex linked, dominant or recessive gene, chromosomal or allele.

2. Symptoms of the disorder.

3. Describe the type of test used to diagnose the disorder.

5. Treatment – is there any treatment currently? What might happen in the future?

The following must be included in addition to the information above.

1. All references cited on the page that you used the information.

2. Reference list on the last slide. Must include one text or magazine and at least 3 internet references. For directions on the correct form to use, see librarian or you English teacher.

3. Use a theme to unify your slides.

4. One form of animation/slide.

|achrondroplasia |Gaucher disease |OTC deficiency |
