Inherited or genetic diseases can be inherited from either side of a family. Some diseases tend to inherit through a mother, some through a father, and some from whichever parent carries the gene regardless of sex.
Genetic diseases are not contagious. But few contagious diseases give rise to genetic diseases in first trimester of pregnancy.. For example rubella infection, toxoplasmosis, chlamydia and herpes virus infection.
In muscular dystrophy, the muscles gradually waste away. These diseases are genetic.
When there is low genetic variation in a population the species produced are unlikely to withstand diseases.
"Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, also known as genetic testing,is a procedure performed on embryos to determine the possibility of the baby developing inherited genetic disorders and diseases."
The term "genetic disease" refers to a disease that is inherited- or passed from one generation to the next.
