Content: The chromosomes in humans are responsible for passing the traits from the parent to the offspring. There are thousands of genes on the pair of chromosomes, X and Y, and each gene carries a trait. Usually genes carry normal traits but sometimes due to reasons unknown, the genes get altered resulting in a ‘mutant’ gene. The offspring inherits a copy of gene from each parent and if either one or both the copies of gene are mutated, then the offspring is at a risk of getting an inherited disease. Most of the time, parents are unaware that they are suffering from a particular disease and have passed on the defective gene to the child unless the child is afflicted. List of Hereditary Diseases
