16. Project Aim:
Establish national ACRDYS testing
service at GOSH
Outcomes:
Screening service implemented on UKGTN
Identified 2 previously unreported mutations
in ACRDYS patients
Confirmed ACRDYS-AHO clinical overlap and
utility of genetic testing in distinguishing the
conditions
17. Thanks! Any Questions?

Hinweis der Redaktion
Former type styling of name looked OK on-screen, but probably will not project well. Student number not needed. Not crazy about the diagonal lines on the background…hard to tell how it will project. If too prominent, it will be distracting. I reset all to plain background.
This is a good example of where revealing text bit-by-bit is useful. If all this went up at one time, a reader’s eyes will be zooming around the slide trying to make sense of it, and will not be hearing what you are saying. Acrodysostosis is a mouthful—needs to be displayed, on its own, first. Assume you will say “it may arise from…” first, then say something about each successive block.
A bit awkward, perhaps. But emphasises the two conditions better than before, where they were both mentioned on the same slide. Allows you to go back to your key point: can molecular genetic analysis permit a definitive distinction between the two.
Here, make the point as per the title and give a brief “tour” of the pathway. Next slide makes point re: which genes are implicated; next one after shows this picture again and zeros in on each affected protein.
Use this as transition from the general description in preceding to “prime” the viewer for zooming in on these points in the pathway on the next slide. “The genetic faults here are…and...”
I have animated the encircling lines with PDE4D first…you might want to alter the order. The idea is that you would say, for example: “Mutations in PDE4D block its effective action, preventing timely breakdown of cAMP and thus termination of the cAMP signal...” or something like this. Then, click to animate the circle on PRKAR1A, and make the comment you want to make there; then Gs-alpha. I colour-coded the circles—see next slide for why.
This and next make point you previously made only in text. Better with graphic.
Makes the “problem” and the “solution” far more emphatic than before. Before you state the aim, you can say “there is already AHO testing, but not ACRDYS testing…” Put the problem back to black text if you don’t like the red.
Better to spread this out over multiple slides
Explicitly reiterates the project aim…and lays out the outcomes against the aim on one slide.
