Genetic disorders are caused by changes in a person's DNA, which can be inherited or occur spontaneously. These changes can cause a variety of medical problems, including birth defects, developmental disabilities, and other health issues. Some genetic disorders are rare, while others are more common and can affect multiple generations of a family.

Genetic Disorder: A condition caused by an abnormality in an individual's genome. This can range from a single gene mutation to a chromosomal aberration, and can affect any organ or body system. Allele: A variant form of a gene. Alleles are responsible for creating the wide range of characteristics that make each person unique. Inherited Genetic Disorder: A condition caused by a gene mutation that is passed down from one generation to the next. This can result in a wide range of physical and mental health conditions.
