Genomic Disorders

Genomic disorders are health conditions caused by changes or abnormalities in a person’s DNA, specifically in certain regions or genes. These changes can involve deletions, duplications, or rearrangements of genetic material, disrupting normal biological functions. Unlike single-gene disorders, genomic disorders often involve large sections of DNA and can lead to a range of physical, developmental, or medical issues. They occur due to errors in how DNA is copied or divided during cell division and can be inherited or happen randomly. Understanding these disorders helps in diagnosis, management, and potential treatment planning.
