Question 2

could you tell me what is the name of the defect that causes non-inherited genetic diseases?

Accepted Answer

No one name: There is no one defect/name that causes non-inherited genetic diseases. One example is a "de novo" genetic disease. This happens in many disorders in which the mutation or a deletion of a gene (or genes) happens for the first time in the child and is not present in either parent. Thus it was not inherited from parent. But this child could pass it on and it would be inherited in his/her children.

Dozens of severe multiple malformation syndromes exist which are striking but none of the world&#x27;s geneticists have a clue with regard to what causes them.
