    Glossary Genetic Disorders

    conditions caused by DNA abnormalities, often inherited from parents

    Genetic disorders, also known as hereditary disorders or genetic diseases, are conditions caused by abnormalities in an individual's DNA. These abnormalities can be due to mutations in a single gene, multiple genes, or chromosomal changes, and they can be inherited from one or both parents. Examples include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Down syndrome.
