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.
The smallest single base deletion mutations occur by a single base flipping in the template DNA, followed by template DNA strand slippage, within the DNA polymerase active site. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Deletions can be caused by errors in chromosomal crossover during meiosis , which causes several serious genetic diseases .

Liebenberg syndrome is a rare autosomal genetic disease that involves a deletion mutation upstream of the PITX1 gene, which is one that's responsible for the body's organization, specifically in forming lower limbs. [2] In animal studies, when this deletion was introduced to developing birds, their wing buds were noted to take on limb-like ...
The three major single-chromosome mutations: deletion (1), duplication (2) and inversion (3). The two major two-chromosome mutations: insertion (1) and translocation (2). When the chromosome's structure is altered, this can take several forms: [16] Deletions: A portion of the chromosome is missing or has been deleted.
Genetic erosion in agricultural and livestock is the loss of biological genetic diversity – including the loss of individual genes, and the loss of particular recombinants of genes (or gene complexes) – such as those manifested in locally adapted landraces of domesticated animals or plants that have become adapted to the natural environment in which they originated.
Chromosomal deletion syndromes result from deletion of parts of chromosomes. Depending on the location, size, and whom the deletion is inherited from, there are a few known different variations of chromosome deletions. Chromosomal deletion syndromes typically involve larger deletions that are visible using karyotyping techniques.
A deletion of the LS1 rRNA gene of P. gonderi P. cynomolgi and P. simiovale has been reported. [46] This mutation was not found in the other species of this group that were examined - P. fragile, P. knowelsi, P. simiae and P. vivax. These mutations are rare and suggest a relationship between the first three species to the exclusion of the others.
