•Genetic
disorder are due to alterations or abnormalities in the genome of an organism.
•Genetic
disorders
occur when a mutation affects your genes or when you have the wrong amount of
genetic material.
•Genes
are the basic unit of heredity. They hold the genetic information in the form
of DNA which can be translated into useful Proteins to carryout life processes.
These genes undergo a mutation, which changes the protein does not work
properly.
•Genes
are made of DNA , which contain instructions for cell functioning and the
characteristics that make you unique
•
•It
can
be caused by a mutation in a single gene (monogenic) or multiple genes
(polygenic) or by a chromosomal abnormality.
•The
mutation
responsible can occur spontaneously before embryonic development or it
can be inherited from two parents who are carriers of a faulty gene (autosomal
recessive ) or
from a parent with the disorder (autosomal dominant).
