Genetic Condition

The website, YourGenome.org, laid out 3 categories of genetic conditions:

Medical investigators purport that 10% of adults have some form of genetic condition, however minor. In addition, 80% of rare conditions diagnosed around the world have genetic causes.

The existence of certain genetic conditions, such as cancer, are universally condemned. However, those with other conditions, such as Down syndrome, may have varied feelings about their diagnoses. Some in the Down syndrome community hope for a cure. However, others diagnosed with Down syndrome may consider the disability to be an integral part of their lives and resist a cure.
