DQ2 Genetic and Genomic Health Problems Across the Lifespan
For this discussion, you will select a genetic disorder and discuss its effect across a patient’s lifespan. Additionally, you will discuss any relevant population health implications for your chosen disorder. Feel free to use one of the disorders presented in your readings for this unit, or select a genetic disorder that is of interest or relevance to you.
In your initial post, address the following. Be sure to follow the requirements for initial postings found in the Faculty Expectations Message (FEM).
Provide an overview of the genetic disorder:
Genetic and Genomic Health Problems Across the Lifespan MSN 6026Pathophysiology (origination, genetic mutation, et cetera).

Analyze the effects of your chosen genetic disorder across a patient’s lifespan.
In other words, what challenges and threats does the disorder pose at different points of a patient’s life (childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age)?
Based on its prevalence and its genetic and genomic components, what are the important population health considerations of the disorder?
