PSA+review+JO

For each podcast, note 2 pieces of information that you learned from listening. Note 1 nice thing you can say about the style.

Jennifer: PKU

Shelby: Breast Cancer Breast Cancer: 1-8 women affected, tumor-supressor genes, BRCA1 and 2. for men and women. tomoxiphin (medicine that can help) -style replicates common PSA's great job

Allie: Downs Syndrome Trisomy 21. 3 chromosomes that were never divided (47 instead of 46) 1-800 babies affected. (no prevention but detection is possible) -informative (music really low)

Monroe: Crit du Chat "cry of the cat" break in the DNA molecule that makes up the chromosome. test are available. small size and respiratory problems. most do not survive. -funny

Nakia: Sickle Cell

Fax: Maple Syrup Urine Disease recessive gene. mutation where you cant break down things needed for energy... result in maple syrup colored urine. -sounds like more people care, enough that a young child would understand and talk about it

Richard: Klinefelters only happens in males, non-disjunction: chromosomes didnt separate, two x and a y chromosomes. became woman... (cant produce sperm) testosterone shots.. allows for muscle building and fascial hair. -interview was a good touch

Molly: Galactosemia autosomal recessive (can be a carrier but not symptoms) enlarged liver. catarax is a lower symptom. tested as a child. not life threatening...dietary restriction -nice music and very informative

Marie: Neurofibromatosis

Aubrey: Cystic Fibrosis mutation in CFTR gene... harms pancreas. tested when young. (sweat test)... -intriguing music

William: Huntington's Disease mutated gene. dominant. symptom: depression, twitching. affects motor-skills - two person perspective: person affected and informant

DeMarcus: Colon Cancer 9.3 seconds someone dies from cancer. FAP... APC gene mutation, polyps form in colon. 50% chance of getting it from your parents( if they have it). makes susceptible to other cancers. -good music and tone, good PSA (good information for class but on a real PSA maybe break up soo much information by having multiple people.)

Grant: SCID body doesnt fight off infections. 1-100,000... "plastic bubble" always sick... blood test. bone marrow transplant for treatment. -multiple perspectives are good

Drew: Alzheimer's Begins slowly. symptoms increase, forgetfulness could increase to the point of forgetting to go to the restroom. also aggression. -good info
