What Are the Common Genetic Disorders Studied in Neurogenetics?
Several genetic disorders are of particular interest in neurogenetics, including:
Huntington's disease: A progressive brain disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene. Fragile X syndrome: A genetic condition causing intellectual disability, resulting from a mutation in the FMR1 gene. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): A neurodegenerative disease linked to mutations in genes like SOD1 and C9orf72. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD): A severe muscle-wasting disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene.
