UTA Biology Manifestation & Frequency of Cystic Fibrosis Discussion

For this discussion, we will be exploring genetic diseases.

FIRST: I’d like to you select a genetic condition from the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s Genetics Home Reference (https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition) Once you have selected a genetic condition, please prepare a post with the following:

Tell us the name of the genetic condition.

Describe the clinical manifestation of the disease (i.e., how does it affect the individual with the condition?).

Tell us the frequency of the disease in the population.

Tell us about the genetic mutation(s) that give rise to this condition (i.e., what genes are mutated?).

1. Tell us about any treatments or management options (if available).
2. Cite any sources that you reference.
