Gene therapy. In most gene therapy studies a 'normal' gene is inserted into the genome to replace an 'abnormal' disease-causing gene. A carrier molecule called a vector must be used to deliver the therapeutic gene to the patient's target Cells.
Currently the most common vector is a virus that has been genetically altered to carry normal human Dna. Viruses have evolved a way of encapsulating and delivering their genes to human Cells in a potentially pathogenic manner. Scientists have tried to take advantage of this capability by manipulating the virus genome to remove disease-causing genes and insert therapeutic genes.
That is called gene therapy.
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
Genetic disorders are caused by either changes in the DNA of genes. Or caused by changes in the overall structure or number of chromosomes.
Some traits are determined by recessive genes on the X chromosomes. Many times these are genetic disorders and are called recessive genes.
Some genetic disorders are caused by mutations in the DNA of genes. Other disorders are caused by changes in the overall structure or number of chromosomes
*Genetic* disorders, as the name says, are due to one's *genes*, ie, one's DNA. It is something that one is born with. They are not contagious.
Multifactorial genes.
the genes are passed from both mother and father to the fetus, this is the cause of some genetic disorders, nothing can be done about this because all genes are hereditary, good along with the bad.
No that is passed through something called Genes.
Yes, they can. That is called genetic engineering.
No not all but certain genetic disorders which are due to chormosomal abreation can be detected by karyotyping of ones chromosomes. Those disease which are due to alteration in genes or no. of genes and not visible on the morphology of chormosome can not be detected.
genetic recombination

Genetic disorders are an abnormal condition people inherit through chromosomes or genes. Some examples are Hemophelia, Down Syndrome, Sickle Cell, and Huntington's disease.
"bundles" of genetic material in a cell's nucleus are called chromosomes.
