The problem that stems from this is that genetic diseases afflict relatively few people when compared to things like heart disease and cancer. Over three-quarters of all deaths in the last twenty years in this country have been from Heart disease, stroke, cancer, or accidental injury.

What are some genetically related diseases?

Genetic genes is a problem... well, I have just answered your question!


Are most genetic diseases evenly distributed among ethnic groups?

The problem with genetic diseases is that they are never gone. Say bob has the hemophelia desease and his wife is a carrier of the disease as well. Their children have a one in two chance of having the disease or being carriers because the disease is recessive. Now if bob's wife was not a carrier, their children would have a one in one chance of being a carrier. The problem is the disease is spread by the carriers.


How does this project directly impact your understanding of genetic diseases?

This project has allowed me to gain hands-on experience in researching genetic diseases and analyzing genetic data, which has deepened my understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these diseases. By working closely with genetic data and studying how specific genetic variations contribute to disease development, I have gained valuable insights into the complexity and heterogeneity of genetic diseases. This firsthand experience has enhanced my ability to interpret genetic information and appreciate the challenges associated with diagnosing and treating genetic disorders.


Members of a population may be prone to inherited genetic diseases if?

Members of a population may be prone to inherited genetic diseases if they have parents who carry the genetic mutation responsible for the disease. Inherited genetic diseases are passed down through generations and can affect individuals who inherit the mutated gene from their parents.


How many diseases are detectable by genetic Screening?

Too Many Too Many The latest numbers and still rising is nearly 7000 genetic diseases have been recognized and mapped as to genetic causes. Source is the US Gov genetics site.

What are the benefits of genetic variation and what are the potential problem that it can cause?

Genetic variation can increase a population's adaptability to changing environments, enhance resistance to diseases, and contribute to overall biodiversity. However, high levels of genetic variation can also lead to increased risk of certain genetic disorders and diseases, as well as reduced fitness due to inbreeding.

A disorder caused partly or completely by a defect in genes?

There are dozens of diseases caused by a genetic defect. They are known as genetic diseases. Sickle Cell anemia, Hemophilia, Tay-Sachs, Huntingtons Disease- and many others are genetic diseases.
