Glossary of genetic terms Sex-linked disorders. Genetic diseases or conditions caused by a mutation on the sex chromosomes. Patterns of inheritance tend to be gender-specific. Single gene disorders. Genetic diseases or conditions caused by a mutation in a single gene or DNA sequence. Also known as Mendelian, Classical and Monogenic disorders.They are usually passed from one generation to the next. Somatic cells. Non-sex cells (not ova or sperm).Somatic or sporadic mutation.he predicted course and outcome of a disease. Recessive disorders. Genetic disease or condition caused by a mutation on both genes in a pair (homozygous). The disease or condition only arises when both parents pass on a copy of the faulty gene.
