Many mutations have no effect at all. These are called silent mutations. But the mutations we hear about most often are the ones that cause disease. Some well-known inherited genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria and color-blindness, among many others.All of these disorders are caused by the mutation of a single gene.Most inherited genetic diseases are recessive, which means that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene to inherit a disorder.any mutations have no effect at all.

Some well-known inherited genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria and color-blindness, among many others.
New techniques are evolving to allow geneticists to understand the link between genes and the molecules that lead to disease. One of those tools is genomics. Genomics is the study of not just single genes, but the entire set of genes, known as the genome.
