[QUOTE="Yusra3, post: 285075, member: 31907"] The short answer is: it depends on the disorder. Some genetic disorders are incurable. These include Huntington's disease and cystic fibrosis, which are caused by single-gene mutations passed down from parents to children. Other disorders, like Down syndrome and Tay-Sachs disease, are caused by mutations in multiple genes that result in an increased risk of developing the disorder. Genetically speaking, we all have a genetic code. This code is what makes us who we are. Some people have more of certain genes than others, and the degree to which you have a particular gene determines how likely you are to develop a particular disorder. If one person has a recessive gene for depression and another has the same recessive gene but doesn't have depression then it's likely that if one were to inherit the depression gene from both parents they would also get depressed. Genetic disorders can be cured through surgery or medication, but not always. Some disorders are hereditary and cannot be cured. Other disorders are caused by environmental factors or can be treated with medication. [/QUOTE]
