Genetics and Health Symposium

Hello, Everyone! Here is Amber again. For this investigation project, Esther and I used VoiceThread to present our research on Hereditary Hemochromatosis. Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, which is pretty common in the human population; around 1 in 200 people will be affected. This disorder will cause the body to absorb excessive iron from the diet. Iron overload is extremely toxic to the human body because it causes organ failure, especially for the liver, heart, and pancreas. In our presentation, we present a consulting dialogue between Dr. Li and Amber about this disorder, including symptoms, some distinct characteristics, and recommended treatments.
