One example is Huntington's Disease. Carried on a dominant gene, it causes deterioration of the central nervous system, affecting movement, swallowing, personality, etc.

X-Linked Inheritance
x-linked recessive chromosome.
It would require changing a person's genes. We can't do that. Yet. Until we do, the genes that gave you the disease will get passed to your children, and THEIR children, etc.
From looking at my family tree i've found males tend to have the disorder while females tend to be carriers (only recieving one of the two necessary genes). It may or may not be a scientific fact, but it's what it looks to be to me.
A mutated gene is just a gene that doesn't have the correct DNA or alleles.. Depending of the human disorder the gene that is mutated will be different... We use genes throughout our bodies but ALL genes can cause human disorders but there is NO single gene that, when mutated, creates ALL genetic modification...
Huntington disease
Genetic Disorders are caused By a change in a person's DNA. Recessive alleles is the most human genetic disorder.
No, Down's syndrome is only a human genetic disorder. Those with the disorder have an extra chromosome. Raccoons do not get this particular genetic disorder.
Genetic disorders can be caused by a mutation in one gene (monogenic disorder), by mutations in multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance disorder), by a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors, or by damage to chromosomes (changes in the number or structure of entire chromosomes.
Trimethylamine is not a human genetic disorder. It is a product of decomposition in plants and animals. go to the related links box for more information on trimethylamine.
Tay-Sachs disease is a human genetic disorder.
The causes of genetic disorders areThey can be inherited through Parents;Mutations may occur;A deletion may occur.These are the causes of a genetic disorder.
Sex linked Gene
Tay-Sachs disease is a human genetic disorder which results in the accumulation of cells due to the clogging caused by undigested lipids. The organelle involved in this disease is the lysosome.
A genetic disorder is an abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes. an example is autism. human being
X-Linked Inheritance
A fibroid is commonly caused by genetic changes. However, they also can be caused by hormones and other growth factors within the human body.
