Genetic Diseases

Genetic diseases develop due to changes in one or several genes or chromosomes. You might experience various symptoms, from developmental delays and visible deformities to chronic illnesses and impaired function, but these vary significantly among different diseases. Some genetic diseases can be fatal, but treatment and management may include medication, therapy, or surgery and offer a range of outlooks. People with some genetic diseases may need lifelong additional support with mobility, social interaction, or daily function.[1]
