Genetic Disease
Genetic Diseases are disorders caused by abnormalities in genes or chromosomes that affect normal growth, development, or body functions. These conditions may be inherited from one or both parents or result from new genetic mutations. Genetic diseases can be classified as single-gene disorders, chromosomal disorders, or multifactorial conditions influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Common examples include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Down syndrome, and muscular dystrophy. Symptoms vary widely depending on the specific disease and may range from mild to severe, affecting physical, intellectual, or metabolic functions. While many genetic diseases have no cure, early diagnosis through genetic testing and newborn screening allows for better management and treatment. Genetic counselling plays a vital role in helping individuals understand risks, make informed decisions, and plan appropriate care. Advances in genetics continue to improve prevention and treatment strategies.
