Abstract
A genetic disorder is a disease caused in whole or in part by a change in the DNA sequence away from the normal sequence. These are categorised as monogenic, multifactorial, and chromosomal disorders. This chapter discusses single-gene, sex-linked, mitochondrial, and multifactorial inheritance patterns and briefly deals with disorders of genetic origin.
