The GeneTests web site www.genetests.org has an educational powerpoint
addressing testing methods, that includes detecting chromosomal
abnormalities. 

I think the NIH public health genomics series mentioned a few months ago had
something on chromosome abnormailites, see
http://www.cdc.gov/genomics/events/special1.htm  There is a lot of material
there.

You could also look at the downloadable materials from
www.hawaiigenetics.org also mentioned earlier on this list.

Subject: general chromosome info for educators?


I am looking for something generic about children with chromosome
abnormalities for educators, along the lines of the NF booklet for teachers
from the NFF.  I realize that there is a wide range of health and educational
difficulties but something in print for a school would be wonderful.  Unique
has something but it is tailored to address education laws in the UK and how
to obtain what a child is entitled to receive.  
 
Thanks,
Robin
