Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAN) or Corino de Andrade's disease, a form of Paramyloidosis, is a neurodegenerative autosomal dominant genetically transmitted disease, first identified and described by Portuguese neurologist Mário Corino da Costa Andrade, in the 1950s. It is a fatal and incurable disease.

In addition, Huntington's Disease and Sickle Cell Anemia are both genetically transmitted ailments.

Yes, it is believed that autism is linked to genetics. Autism tends to run in families, but scientists have not narrowed down what genes are involved in autism. In fact, it is possible that there is no one gene that is involved, but a combination of genes. Also, families with no history of autism can have an autistic child, and this is believed to be due to changes in genes that occur from one generation to the next.

Autism is not a disease full-stop.

Autism is a neurological variation, autism is no more a disease than being neurotypical is a disease and as we are our minds to refer to autism as a disease is to refer to Autistic people as a disease. Autism is believed to be genetic, it's not due to just one genetic mutation but multiple potential variations so even neurotypical people with no autism in the family can have Autistic children.

Anemia is a symptom, not a disease. However, there are genetic diseases that cause anemia (such as Sickle Cell Anemia).

No. A gene mutation itself is not caused by genetic disease but can lead to it.
