Genetic Disease
Genetic Disease is defined as any of the diseases and disorders that are caused by mutations in one or more genes.

Treatment
It is a common misconception that genetic diseases are, by their nature, untreatable.

Insurance
The most published fears are that genetic information will reach insurers and employers.

Public availability of the complete human genome represents a defining moment for both biomedical research and medical practice. The genome database will speed identification of genes implicated in a variety of genetic diseases and thus enable more objective and accurate diagnosis, in some cases even before the onset of clinical symptoms.
