Moderate to severe intellectual disability can be caused by a number of mishaps that may occur before, during, or after birth, including: genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome (leading to cretinism, for example); infectious diseases, such as meningitis; metabolic disorders; physical malformations...
Gene mutation is a genetic disease is divided into the fundamental causes of lacking of mutation and non-deletion mutations. PCR techniques as effective of a fast, accurate analysis of genetic diseases revealed by gene diagnosis method in the pathogenesis of genetic diseases, monitoring of such dise...
Despite prolonged research, the cause or causes of schizophrenia remain largely unknown. It is clear that there is an inheritedgeneticpredisposition to the disease. Thus, the children of schizophrenic parents stand a greatly increased chance of themselves becoming schizophrenic. While no causative link ...

Genetic disorders include any of a variety of disorders caused by mutations, changes or errors in the genetic code. They can be simple errors at the gene level or can involve entire chromosomes. The extent of the disorder is wholly based on the gene(s) or chromosome(s) involved. ...
Causes of elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood can be caused by infections, viral hepatitis, anemia, genetic diseases, and liver problems. Symptoms of elevated bilirubin levels depend on the cause; however, jaundice is a common sign. Treatment for elevated bilirubin levels depends on the ...
000 recorded rare diseases have a known genetic cause. Genome sequencing of large cohorts of rare disease patients provides a route toward discovering the genetic causes that remain unknown. However, large genetic datasets are challenging to work with, slowing down research significantly, s...

, environmental agents such assmokingor alcohol, orintrinsicgenetic factors in the fetus that impose a limitation on growth. In cases of intrinsic genetic defect, such as Down syndrome, the placenta has the same genetic constitution as the fetus, and placental constraints affect growth. Conversely,...
