human genetic disorder

A human genetic disorder is a condition caused by changes or mutations in a person's DNA. These changes can affect how the body develops or functions, leading to health problems or physical differences. Some genetic disorders are inherited from parents, while others occur spontaneously. Examples include cystic fibrosis, which affects the lungs and digestion, and hemophilia, a bleeding disorder. Advances in genetics help us understand these conditions, develop treatments, and provide better support for affected individuals. While many genetic disorders are lifelong, early diagnosis and medical care can significantly improve quality of life.
