Assignment:
Q1. Nadine has a form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (MIM 610127). She suffers from seizures, loss of vision, and lack of coordination, and will likely not survive beyond 10 years of age. Her cells lack an enzyme that normally breaks down certain proteins, causing them to accumulate and destroy the nervous system. Name two organelles that are affected in this illness.
Q2. Studies show that women experiencing chronic stress, such as from caring for a severely disabled child, have telomeres that shorten at an accelerated rate. Suggest a study that would address the question of whether men have a similar reaction to chronic stress.
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
