Throughout this course we have explored numerous biological molecules and processes that normally contribute to the maintenance and control of a stable cellular environment (and by extension, to the health and vitality of the organism). But this is not always the case. When cellular processes do NOT occur or function normally, disease and disorder can result. Your task is to explore in depth a specific disease or disorder that results from the absence or dysfunction of biological molecules and/or processes. This could be a disease/disorder that specifically affects one of the systemsexplored in this course (nervous, endocrine, or urinary); it could be a
genetic condition that results from mutation; and/or it could be a metabolic syndrome.
