Essay Introduction to the Genetic Disease and General Description – Essay Writing – Nursing Assignment Help

Assignment Task:

Introduction to the genetic disease and general description [10%]

Tips: For this section start with the basic clinical description of the disease. Also, incorporate the mode of inheritance. If your topic is a disease that has both Mendelian and multifactorial characteristics – mention it here. Would be also good to talk about the prevalence and/or incidence of the disease. 
Current research on the disease [20%]

Tips: Start with an overview of the current research on the disease. You can go beyond genetics at the start of this section but then try to focus towards the genetic research more than other aspects. Note that this section has 20% weightage. 
Genetic basis of the disease [20%]

Tips: Ending of the last section should seamlessly lead to the start of this section. Here you elaborate on the genetic basis. For example, you can talk about the data that identified the gene (LOD score etc) and discuss the strength and weakness of the available literature. 
Future prospects for use of new genetic technology [20%]

Tips: This is one of the key sections. Here you have the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of genetic/genomic approaches to manage human diseases. As mentioned above, the end of the previous section should be identification of gap in knowledge for your disease topic. That would guide your writing for the future prospect. Some possible future prospects are: (i) Whole-genome/exome sequencing; (ii) GWAS studies; (iii) Genetic Counselling etc. Please note that these are just broad ideas. You do not have to choose from this list for your book chapter. Key is to identify gaps in knowledge for your topic and discuss your thoughts based on available knowledge. You can draw a reference from another disease and propose that as a strategy to your disease topic. The references for this section does not have to be on your topic. But they have to logically connect. Please avoid stating things without any literature evidence. For example, do not write: ‘I believe….’. Rather write: ‘Based on the work of XXXX (author et al, Year), it is plausible to use YYYY approach for ZZZZZ disease.’
