A poster comparing the mapping of a Mendelian trait (Cystic Fibrosis and a complex trait (Type 2 Diabetes)

the teacher wanna a POSTER compare the mapping of Mendelian trait ( she said u choose which disease u want so i choose Cystic Fibrosis disease) and Complex trait ( which i choose Type 2 diabetes and i am not sure about it). she wants some figures explain the gene locus, mapping, tests done on it before, and therapy. I attach some important instructions from the teacher. She draw an example as Huntingin disease and Autism. if u have an easier examples about Mendelian and complex diseases tell me please.

Molecular Genetics Assessment Assignment
Students in BMS524 will create a poster comparing the mapping of a Mendelian trait and a complex
trait. Pick a human gene or trait from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim) and a complex trait (cancer, autism, Alzheimer’s disease). Outline
sources of material documenting how each trait is genetically mapped. Include the following:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
g)
h)
Genotype and phenotypes.
Variation
Gene regulation
Developmental effects
Population studies
Application such as testing or therapy
Environmental links: does the gene have ecological significance?
Bibliography of key resources used
The poster will have a title, abstract, results, conclusions and key citations.
