Single Gene Disorder
A single gene disorder is a genetic condition caused by a mutation in one specific gene. This mutation disrupts the gene's normal function, leading to disease. These disorders can be inherited in various patterns such as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked, and often have predictable inheritance patterns and distinct clinical features. Examples include cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, and sickle cell anemia.
