List of Genetic Disorders
While many diseases will often beg the question of how it was acquired, one kind of condition is often pre-determined. Genetic Disorders are built into an individual’s DNA, caused by abnormalities in genetic make-up. The alteration can either be a mutation to a single gene or the absence or presence of an entire chromosome. The effects of these differences can result in a myriad of syndromes, diseases and deficiencies. Some Genetic disorders can result in birth defects or physical handicaps.

A Genetic Disorder is passed down from parent to child and many conditions are unique to the mother while others are passed on from the father. Certain disorders are also more prevalent among different sexes and races. Modern technology though, has made it possible to test for many Genetic Disorders. A procedure called amniocentesis is frequently used during high-risk pregnancies to determine the risk of certain kinds of Genetic Disorders. In many cases early detection of many of these genetic factors can be life saving. There are numerous treatments available that can help prevent or treat many disorders. The Following is a list of many of those disorders.
