molecular basis to health and disease

”Dawn syndrome” is the topic

In no less than 1500 words describe the molecular basis of the disease identified under your name.In the case of genetic disease where the affected genes are known, it will not be enough to just mention them.You must describe the biochemical/biological path they are involved at the molecular level indicating the effects. In the case of more than one genes involved mention them but describe the molecular path of the gene that contributes the most to the disease or is most studied and there is literature available.

BIOL-323 MOLECULAR BASIS TO HEALTH AND DISEASE
ASSIGNMENT 2, SPRING SEMESTER 2019
In no less than 1500 words describe the molecular basis of the disease identified under your
name. In the case of genetic disease where the affected genes are known, it will not be enough to
just mention them. You must describe the biochemical/biological path they are involved at the
molecular level indicating the effects. In the case of more than one genes involved mention them
but describe the molecular path of the gene that contributes the most to the disease or is most
studied and there is literature available.
It is recommended that you use proper scientific papers for your assignment (hint: start with a
review article); general information web/medical pages are not acceptable, even if information
represents the text read in the medline.
Please note that the assignment should be submitted both in e-form and as a hardcopy asap and
not later than mid-day on the 1st of June. No assignment will be accepted after this date, in any
form. The Bonus ppt presentation is to be submitted electronically.
Requirements:
1. at least 1500 words excluding the references (size 12 and space 1.5)
2. use citations and proper referencing according to the Harvard method (use scientific articles for
writing it and referencing not NIH sources of general information)
3. no plagiarism or you will get zero
4. write the name of the course, title of the topic and your name in the first page
5. Send an e-version as well as submit a hard copy
‘Dawn
syndrome’’
FINAL GRADE “BUSTER” IS OPTIONAL AND WILL BE CONSIDERED ONLY
IF YOUR FINAL EXAM GRADE IS >50%. THIS BONUS WILL BE W0RTH 5%
AND THE PONTS WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR FINAL GRADE
Prepare a Power Point presentation about the topic you have been assigned using a maximum of
30 slides, as if you were to present the topic to a BIOL-323 class who has to know about the
disease and the molecular basis of the disease.
That is, the reader of the slides should be able to understand the molecular basis of the disease
and not only the pathology and symptoms associated with the disease.
