text: Diseases often caused by TEs include
  * Hemophilia A and B
  ** LINE1 (L1) TEs that land on the human Factor VIII have been shown to cause haemophilia
  * Severe combined immunodeficiency
  ** Insertion of L1 into the APC gene causes colon cancer, confirming that TEs play an important role in disease development.
  * Porphyria
  **Insertion of Alu element into the PBGD gene leads to interference with the coding region and leads to acute intermittent porphyria (AIP).
  * Predisposition to cancer
  **LINE1(L1) TE's and other retrotransposons have been linked to cancer because they cause genomic instability.
  * Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
  **Caused by SVA transposable element insertion in the fukutin (FKTN) gene which renders the gene inactive.
  * Alzheimer's Disease and other Tauopathies
  ** Transposable element dysregulation can cause neuronal death, leading to neurodegenerative disorders
