1. Name of the genetic disorder. 2. Type of genetic disorder - how is it inherited? Dominant, recessive, sex-linked, nondisjunction, mutation, which chromosome it is located on, gene locus,etc. 3. Description of the symptoms/effects 4. Diagnosis - what methods are used to diagnose the disorder? 5. Prognosis - doctor's prediction of how a patient's disorder will progress - for ex: early death 6. Treatment - (if no treatment is currently available, explain why) 7. Statistics on the # of individuals born with the disorder - (if applicable - include ethnic groups which are most prone to the disorder) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">8. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Other information: any other interesting information - for example - famous cases in history <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">9. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">3 relevant and appropriate digital images.
