    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_disorders

    The following is a list of genetic disorders and if known, type of mutation and for the chromosome involved. Although the parlance "disease-causing gene" is common, it is the occurrence of an abnormality in the parents that causes the impairment to develop within the child. There are over 6,000 known genetic disorders in humans.

  6. Autosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autosome

    Autosomal genetic disorders can arise due to a number of causes, some of the most common being nondisjunction in parental germ cells or Mendelian inheritance of deleterious alleles from parents. Autosomal genetic disorders which exhibit Mendelian inheritance can be inherited either in an autosomal dominant or recessive fashion. [ 7 ]

    This is a list of disorder codes in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database. These are diseases that can be inherited via a Mendelian genetic mechanism. OMIM is one of the databases housed in the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information.

    Autosomal recessive pattern, showing how two unaffected carriers can have a child with the disease. Some genetic disorders are caused by having two "bad" copies of a recessive allele. When the gene is located on an autosome (as opposed to a sex chromosome), it is possible for both men and women to be carriers. A child of two carriers has a 1/4 ...

  9. Compound heterozygosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_heterozygosity

    In medical genetics, compound heterozygosity is the condition of having two or more heterogeneous recessive alleles at a particular locus that can cause genetic disease in a heterozygous state; that is, an organism is a compound heterozygote when it has two recessive alleles for the same gene, but with those two alleles being different from each other (for example, both alleles might be ...
