Genetic Disorder
What is a biochemical genetic disorder?Biochemical genetic disorders are those in which there is an inherited abnormality in the biochemistry of the body. Beyond this basic similarity, however, these disorders vary widely. All disorders of this type are incurable, some are associated with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities, and some are life-threatening. However, in many cases, early detection and treatment can help prevent some of the most severe effects and can change the natural progression of the disease. Promoting Awareness and EducationBecause genetic biochemical disorders are rare, most people do not have a basic knowledge of them, and many health professionals may not be familiar with the current state-of-the-art therapy for these disorders. |
