Rare: Most genetic disorders are considered to be quite ____
Mutated: A single gene disorder is the result of a single ____ gene
AutosomalDominant: If only one mutated copy of the gene is necessary for the person to be affected it is considered to be an ____ disorder (two words)
AutosomalRecessive: If two copies of the gene must be mutated for the person to be affected it is considered to be an ____ disorder (two words)
Dominant: Rett syndrome, incontinentia pigmenti type 2 and Aicardi syndrome are examples of X-linked ____ disorders
Recessive: Haemophilia A, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and male pattern baldness are examples of X-linked ____ disorders

Haemophilia: A group of hereditary genetic disorders that impair the bodys ability to control blood clotting or coagulation
Four: There are ____ types of mutations that could cause a genetic disorder
Point: This type of mutation causes the replacement/insertion/deletion of a single base nucleotide
CriDuChat: This syndrome has a French name and gets its name from the characteristic cry of affected infants
DownSyndrome: Also called Trisomy 21, a condition caused by the presence of (all or part of) a third copy of chromosome 21
Phenylketonuria: PKU for short, results in the inability to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine
HuntingtonsDisease: This is a neurological illness causing involuntary movements, severe emotional disturbances and cognitive decline, it is caused by a “CAG” trinucleotide repeat on chromosome 4
TaySachsDisease: This disorder occurs when harmful amounts of gangliosides accumulate in the brain’s nerve cells, it causes progressive deterioration of mental and physical abilities in infants
