Exploring Genetics Through Genetic Disorders was produced by the Genetic Science Learning Center (GSLC) in collaboration with a team of advisors and teachers from Utah and across the country. The unit went through several rounds of development, revisions, and refinements, which were informed by teacher feedback and student assessment measures.

This work was supported by a Science Education Partnership Award, from the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health; Grant No. 1R25GM021903.
