Its dot point 9.7.6.A – Process and analyse information from secondary sources to describe the effect of one named and described genetic mutation on human health...

i think my main problem is desiding which genetic mutation to do possibly not knowing if its genetic aswell...could anyone help me?

genetic mutation may be of substitution (pt mutation) or frameshift (deletion/insertion) nature...

i put down down sydrome in my notes, but now that i start to think about it, it is really not any described by the genetic mutation... but skin cancer is defnitely a genetic mutation... and its impact is rather easy to assess as well...

hmmmm. just go for the simple one. use Sickle cell anaemia.

It's a base substitution. Instead of the amino acid Glu being made, a Val is made. (Check on this, not too sure). therefore, the RCs are distorted.
