Genetic factors play a role in the development of many types of human disease. Genetic determinants may be chromosome abnormalities (Down syndrome, Kleinfelter syndrome, Turner syndrome), single gene defects (dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis, Gaucher disease, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease), mitochondrial mutations (MELAS, MERRF, Kearns-Sayre syndrome), or epigenetic or multifactorial factors. Genetics testing methods are also reviewed.
