Understanding Genetic Disorders: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Genetic disorders in children arise from changes or mutations in DNA that impact the body’s development and function. These changes can lead to various health issues, ranging from mild to severe, affecting growth, learning, and overall well-being. Some genetic disorders are inherited from parents, while others occur spontaneously. Early diagnosis and support are essential in helping children with genetic disorders lead fulfilling lives.
