This question doesn't exactly make sense, but I'll try to answer it.
The nucleus (or "brain of the cell") contains DNA.
DNA is where all genetic makeup is stored.
DNA contains chromosomes.
Each normal human being has 46 chromosomes.
Genetic diseases lie within these chromosomes, pinpointing where they are is the tricky part.
A lot genetic diseases have yet to be pinpointed and even when they are pinpointed, finding a cure can be almost impossible without the help of stem cell research.
