Why does a person with only one copy of a defective gene often not get the disorder associated with the gene?
A person with only one copy of a defective gene often does not develop the associated disorder due to the presence of a normal copy of the gene, which can provide sufficient functional protein or activity to maintain normal physiological processes. This phenomenon is known as "haplosufficiency," where one functional allele compensates for the defective one. Additionally, many genetic disorders are recessive, meaning that both copies of the gene must be defective for the disorder to manifest.
