Genetic Disorders
Genetic disorders are conditions caused by abnormalities in an individual's DNA. These can be inherited or result from new mutations. Common genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome, and sickle cell anaemia. Diagnosis is typically through genetic testing, and management often involves specialised medical care tailored to the specific disorder.
