About

    Genetic disorders are conditions caused by changes or mutations in an individual's genes. These disorders can be inherited from one or both parents or can occur spontaneously due to new mutations. Genetic disorders can affect any part of the body and can result in a wide range of symptoms, from mild to severe. Research in the field of genetic disorders focuses on understanding the underlying genetic causes of these conditions, developing diagnostic tests for early detection, and exploring potential treatment options. This research also aims to improve genetic counseling and education for individuals and families affected by genetic disorders. By studying genetic disorders, researchers hope to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies to ultimately improve the quality of life for individuals with these conditions.
