Understanding Your Genetic Risks with Genomic Research
Genetic Disorders
Genetic disorders are health problems that happen because of some type of abnormality in a person's genetic material. There are several types of genetic disorders. Some disorders are caused by a genetic change (mutation) in a single gene; some are caused by an abnormality in one of the chromosomes; and some are complex, involving numerous genes and influences from environmental factors.
Children, parents, and grandparents often share similar health problems. If a particular disease runs in your family, you may have inherited factors that put you at risk . Inherited risk factors are passed down from parent to child by way of genes. All humans have the same genes, but different people have slightly different versions of these genes. Sometimes genetic differences cause disease ...
