Claim
Our goal for this project was to be able to identify different diseases affecting the endocrine system after being given genetic history and symptoms.

Turner Syndrome
Analysis
This project was relatively easy, because the patient could give their symptoms, and then we could actively insert the symptoms into a Google search, and receive the diagnosis with minimal effort. This was a very interesting project to see how we could identify diseases, and learn where they come from and how they are passed down.
