Selective Breeding or Artificial Selection Humans have used selective breeding long before Darwin's Postulates and the discovery of genetics. Farmers chose cattle with beneficial traits such as larger size or producing more milk, and made them breed; and although they may have known nothing about genes, they knew that the beneficial traits could be heritable.

Beta-thalassemia Hemophilia A is an inherited, X-linked, recessive disorder caused by deficiency of functional plasma clotting factor VIII (FVIII). In a significant number of cases, the disorder results from a new mutation or an acquired immunologic process.tiology. Hemophilia A is caused by an inherited or acquired genetic mutation that results in dysfunction or deficiency of factor VIII, or by an acquired inhibitor that binds factor VIII. Of genetic cases, approximately one third are the result of de novo mutations not present in the mother's X chromosome.

- xeroderma pigmentosum-caused by mutations in the XPA gene. At least 25 mutations in the XPA gene have been found to cause xeroderma pigmentosum. Mutations in this gene are responsible for a very severe form of the disorder that is more common in the Japanese population than in other populations.he neurological abnormalities are thought to result from a buildup of DNA damage, although the brain is not exposed to UV rays. Researchers suspect that other factors damage DNA in nerve cells. It is unclear why some people with xeroderma pigmentosum develop neurological abnormalities and others do not.

Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired Bassen-Kornzweig Syndrome. It is an autosomal recessive condition that more often affects males. It is caused by a defect in a gene that tells the body to create lipoproteins (molecules of fat combined with protein). The defect makes it hard for the body to properly digest fat and essential vitamins.arfan's is an autosomal dominant, hereditary disorder. Marfan’s is characterized by arachnodactyly (increased length of long bones especially in fingers and toes); scanty subcutaneous fat (relaxed ligaments); congenital heart disease; spine/joint deformities; high infant mortality rate.

Population Genetics Genetic variation is an important force in evolution as it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population. Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism’s offspring).

- Hemophilia is an X-linked inherited bleeding disorder caused by mutation of the F8 gene that encodes for coagulation factor VIII or the F9 gene that encodes for coagulation factor IX. The degree of plasma factor deficiency correlates with both the clinical severity of disease and genetic findings.

Genetic Diseases and Recessive Genes Spinal Muscle Atrophy Type 1. Spinal muscle atrophy type 1 is another one of the genetic diseases inherited by recessive genes. It is caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron gene, SMN1.This autosomal recessive disease causes muscle weakness that leads to reduced body movements and deformed limbs.ay Sachs Disease. Tay Sachs is a recessive genetic disease caused by a mutation in the hexosaminidase A gene, HEXA. A mutation in the gene causes fat molecules to accumulate in the brain.

Genetic Diseases Many disorders are exceptions to the Mendelian laws of inheritance. Genetic disorders caused by a combination of many genes are called multifactorial (mul-tee-fak-TOR-e-al) disorders. In addition, some disorders show reduced penetrance (PEN-e-trance), which means that a gene is not wholly dominant or recessive.ost genetic disorders are caused by defective genes on the autosomes. If an autosomal genetic disorder is caused by a problem with a single gene, then the following rules of inheritance usually apply. There are exceptions to these rules, but they are useful guidelines for understanding inheritance.

- Birth defects or genetic disorders can also be caused by a problem with the number or structure of chromosomes. Usually this results in multiple body systems being affected. Approximately 1% of all babies will be born with chromosomal abnormality, which can cause physical problems and mental retardation. 2  More than 20% of infant deaths are caused by birth defects or genetic conditions (e.g. congenital heart defects, abnormalities of the nervous system, or chromosomal abnormalities).

Genetic disorder (October 2008). A genetic disorder is a genetic problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome, especially a condition that is present from birth (congenital). Most genetic disorders are quite rare and affect one person in every several thousands or millions.hether, when and to what extent a person with the genetic defect or abnormality will actually suffer from the disease is almost always affected by the environmental factors and events in the person's development.

Overview Certain genes are involved in making proteins that protect muscle fibers from damage. Muscular dystrophy occurs when one of these genes is defective. Each form of muscular dystrophy is caused by a genetic mutation particular to that type of the disease. Many of these mutations are inherited. But some occur spontaneously in the mother's egg or the developing embryo and can be passed on to the next generation. 1  Symptoms. 2  Risk factors.

- (March 2014) Human genetic resistance to malaria refers to inherited changes in the DNA of humans which increase resistance to the disease and result in increased survival of individuals with the genetic change. Evolutionarily, the existence of these genotypes are likely due to pressure from evolving alongside the parasites that cause malaria (of the genus Plasmodium).

Mutations and Disease But the mutations we hear about most often are the ones that cause disease. Some well-known inherited genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria and color-blindness, among many others. All of these disorders are caused by the mutation of a single gene.Most inherited genetic diseases are recessive, which means that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene to inherit a disorder.This is one reason that marriage between close relatives is discouraged; two genetically similar adults are more likely to give a child two copies of a defective gene.ost inherited genetic diseases are recessive, which means that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene to inherit a disorder.

What are some of the possible consequences of mutation? A condition caused by mutations in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. In some cases, gene mutations are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth. These changes occur in genes that are essential for development, and often disrupt the development of an embryo in its earliest stages.or example, some mutations alter a gene’s DNA sequence but do not change the function of the protein made by the gene. Often, gene mutations that could cause a genetic disorder are repaired by certain enzymes before the gene is expressed and an altered protein is produced.
