GENETIC DISORDERS BROCHURE




You will choose a genetic disorder from a box
You will be given about one week of class time to research your disorder and
collect information. Once you have all of your information, you will create your
brochure. I suggest using MS Word, with a brochure template.
You are to create an informational brochure like you might find in a doctor’s office
You must include the following information:
o Cause (What gene is involved, what chromosome is involved, etc.)
o Symptoms and Effects
o Treatments
o Life Span
o Pictures
o Organizations that can provide assistance and support
o How to help those affected (education, training, support)
o Any other facts or information that you may find relevant
In addition, the following needs to be handed in separately:
o All notes taken during research
o Resource list
Plagiarism is illegal and dishonest. If I find that you copied any information, you will be
referred for disciplinary action, and you will receive a failing grade. And to be clear, I
will know!
