List Of Genetic Disorders

Genetic disorders are genetic abnormalities that are passed down from the parents to the children and occur mainly due to abnormalities in the genes. These abnormalities are usually caused by mutations, gene deletions, extension of gene length, or even due to chromosomal aberrations

Thanks to the advancement that medical science has made, it is now possible to treat many genetic disorders provided they are detected early on. No longer are genetic disorders left untreated if there is a possibility of curing them.

Here is a list of more well-known genetic disorders:

Top 10 Genetic Disorders

Top-10-Genetic-Disorders A genetic disorder is caused by abnormalities in the genetic framework of a person and is passed down from either parent to the children. Some genetic disorders are caused due to mutation inside one of the genes or due to the absence or presence of an entire chromosome, chromosomal aberrations, or even due to abnormal extension of the gene length. Certain genetic disorders are gender specific while others are restricted to a particular ethnic origin More..
