Discussion Genetic Expert

The purpose of this assignment is for you to explore the genetic transmission resulting in the pathophysiology of a specific disease/disorder of interest to you–becoming the expert clinician, if you will. The purpose of the infographic you will create is to teach others, such as other health care providers, families, and patients, across different care settings. Late submissions will have 10% off per day.

Part 1: Initial Post

Select one genetic disorder of your choice and create a one-page infographic that clearly and creatively explains key information about the disorder. You may use any design software you like (e.g., PowerPoint, Piktochart, Adobe Express, Canva) to make a 1-page.

By Wednesday at 11:59 pm, post your infographic as a new thread by selecting the blue “reply” button. You won’t be able to see additional posts until you make your initial post. Your initial post accounts for 85% of your grade in this discussion.

Requirements

• Use at least three credible, outside resources (not assigned course readings). Acceptable sources include peer-reviewed journal articles, reputable scientific websites, or other scholarly materials.
• Your infographic should briefly cover the following: Name and description of the disease/disorder, Incidence (how often it occurs), Prevalence (how common it is in a population), Gene locus (which gene/chromosome is affected), Mode of transmission (e.g., autosomal dominant, recessive, sex-linked), How normal physiology is altered (what changes in the body when someone has this disorder), and How the disease/disorder is diagnosed.
• Arrange information logically, grouping similar content together. Ensure your infographic is easy to follow and flows well from start to finish.
• Make it visually appealing and creative; use headings, icons, and visuals, and follow
• .
• Include correct APA citations for all your sources, either directly on the infographic or in a small reference box at the bottom. Double-check that any links to websites or resources work properly.
