because many structural defects are inherited from a parent who is a balanced carrier, couples who have one pregnancy with a structural chromosomal abnormality generally are at significantly increased risk above the general population to repeat the experience. Clearly, the likelihood of a recurrence wou...
Initially, we might think that the genetics of inherited diseases is simple. We have decoded the genome. We have the technology to find the errors that lead to inherited diseases. What's the problem? Looking at a few examples, we will quickly see that our new molecular knowledge and ...
Genetic diseases and disorders are the result of anomalies in a gene or an entire part of the chromosome of an individual. They may arise due to spontaneous mutations or may be inherited from the parents. The current article provides a list of such genetic diseases and disorders. Did You Know?

The genetic etiologies of more than half of rare diseases remain unknown. Standardized genome sequencing and phenotyping of large patient cohorts provide an opportunity for discovering the unknown etiologies, but this depends on efficient and powerful an
000 known single-gene disorders, which occur in about 1 out of every 200 births. Some examples arecystic fibrosis, sickle cellanemia, Marfan syndrome, Huntington's disease, and hemochromatosis. Single-gene disorders are inherited in recognizable patterns:autosomal dominant,autosomal recessive, and X-...
Genetic testing, any of a group of procedures used to identify gene variations associated with health, disease, and ancestry and to diagnose inherited diseases and disorders. A genetic test is typically issued only after a medical history, a physical exa
These modifications made to DNA and proteins, which impact chromatin structure, are referred to as epigenetic markers (or marks) and subsequently inherited as they are passed on through rounds of cell division. DNA Methylation. DNA methylation works by adding a chemical group to DNA Histone ...
