Genetic disorders are health conditions caused by abnormalities in an individual's DNA. These disorders can result from mutations in a single gene, multiple genes, or even entire chromosomes. Common examples include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Down syndrome. Genetic disorders can be inherited from parents or occur spontaneously. Diagnosis of genetic disorders often involves genetic testing, which can identify specific mutations. Treatment options vary widely and may include medication, therapy, or lifestyle changes. Early detection and intervention can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals affected by these conditions.
