Current Events
        Currently there is a lot of research going on about bloom syndrome. Also only 200 people have it in
the  world. That isn't very many, but many people focus a lot of their time on this disease. It is one of the
genetic disorders that have not yet found a cure for but they have several scientist researching this disease
trying to find a cure. It is a very complex disorder, therefor it is extremely hard to find out when and were to
change the DNA. People with diseases that are caused because of  Bloom Syndrome can cure those
diseases. For instance if you get cancer because of Bloom Syndrome you can win the battle against cancer,
but still have Bloom Syndrome. This unfortunate because they might get it again, or they might get a different
disease that Bloom Syndrome enables. I order for this process to be stopped Bloom Syndrome must become
extinct. We havn't found a cure yet, but hopefully we will find one soon.

                                                         Genetics
        The cause of this genetically transmitted disease is genome instability. The reason for this condition
is the lack of protein RecQ. This protein is important energy to the cells it is in and without it it causes the
genome to be unstable. This leaves the cell susceptible to a cell mutation and that is how the disease is
formed. The reason why so few people have this genetic disorders because there has to be very rare
circumstances in order for the cell mutation be possible. It can also be caused by a mismatch in DNA
 replication or a mismatch in protein production. Although it seems like there are a lot of ways to get this
disease it's is actually really rare. In fact only 200 people have Bloom Syndrome in the world. Weather it
is a cell mutation or a mismatch in protein this disease may be formed

                 A day in a life of a person with Bloom syndrome
        A day in a life of a person with bloom syndrome wouldn't be very fun or happy. It would be extremely painful
and difficult. You wouldn't be able to go in the sun without getting blisters on your face. You might have diabetes
or cancer so you would constantly have to check your blood sugar or be to weak to go out of the house. Bloom
syndrome also causes you to be prone to pneumonia so you could be lying in bed coughing. These are daily
challenges that a person with bloom syndrome face. Just to have bloom syndrome for one day would be a huge
ordeal in itself. Not many have Bloom syndrome, but the ones that do live an extremely hard day to day life.
Imagine all of the things we take for granted like enjoying a sunny day. They can't go in the sun let alone enjoy
it. Or playing sports. They can't playing soccer, football, or basketball because it's outdoors and if they get a disease
Bloom syndrome makes them prone to they obviously can't play sports. So before you think that your not able to do
a lot, think about the people with diseases like this that can hardly do anything they'd like. This would be a day in a
life of a person with bloom syndrome.
