A member asked:
Are all diseases caused by a problem on one of our chromosomes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, many reasons: Most diseases are caused by infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, fungus, molds, parasites). Some are caused by environmental toxins and some are by defective chromosomes.
