Genetic Disease Article part 2

Each student will write an article on a genetic disorder of his/her choice. The article will be submitted in two parts
totaling a minimum of 3,000 words (not including the reference page). The article should include (but not be limited to) the
following information:

Detailed description of the disease, including whatever name(s) might be used to identify it.
Inheritance patterns of the disease, with a description of that type of inheritance.
Description of disease should include OMIM number and references (www.omim.org).
The molecular basis for the disease.
Treatment for the disease.
Prognosis for the disease.

The second part of the article should cover:

The molecular basis for the disease.
Treatment for the disease.
Prognosis for the disease.

The molecular basis for the disease must be covered extensively. The gene nomenclature rules should be followed
(http://www.genenames.org/about/guidelines) throughout. This part of your paper should be approximately 1,500 words in
length.

The textbook is considered a valid source for information, as well as other textbooks, but 10 or more original peer-reviewed
articles need to be used and cited. Genetic databases, NIH, CDC and other appropriate research centers are good resources,
but do not count toward the number of peer-reviewed sources. The reference page should contain all references that are
appropriate for and were mentioned in the text of the paper. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to:
http://library.caltech.edu/reference/abbreviations/. Again 10 peer-reviewed articles mustf be referenced.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
An abstract is not required.
