A genetic disorder is an illness caused by abnormalities in genes or
chromosomes. While some diseases, such as cancer, are due in part to
genetic disorders, they can also be caused by environmental factors.
Most disorders are quite rare and affect one person in every several
thousands or millions. Some types of recessive gene disorders confer
an advantage in the heterozygous state in certain environments.
