Autosomal dominant genetic disorder

a pattern or inheritance characteristic of some genetic disorders; the gene is located on one of the numbered chromosomes; a single copy of the mutated gene is enough to cause the disorder

Autosomal recessive genetic disorder:

a pattern or inheritance characteristic of some genetic disorders; the gene is located on one of the numbered chromosomes; two copies (one from each parent) of the mutated gene are required to cause the disorder

impaired muscle coordination and/or other disabilities, typically caused by lack of oxygen to the brain before, during or shortly after birth

a threadlike structure found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes

Chromosomal genetic disorders

a type of genetic disorder that develop because of a change (mutation) in one or more gene; typically missing or duplicated chromosome material

Cleft lip/Cleft palate

a gap in upper lip or palate; caused by heredity or environment or both

a genetic disorder where a person has a reduced ability to distinguish between colors when compared to the standard for normal human color vision; usually affects only males

Congenital heart defects

are present at birth and can affect the structure of a baby’s heart and the way it works; can be by environmental or genetic factors

a genetic disorder resulting in the secretion of thick mucus that blocks internal passages, including those of the lungs, causing respiratory infections; also affects the pancreas, resulting in a deficiency of digestive enzymes and impaired nutrition
