Genetic disorders are typically present at birth, but they should not be confused with congenital disorders, which are any disorders, regardless of cause, that are present at birth. Some congenital disorders are not caused by genetic mutations or chromosomal alterations and are caused by problems during embryonic or fetal development.

The primary difference is the differing goals of each process. The goal of mitosis is to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell, meaning the new cells have exactly the same DNA as the parent cell. Mitosis happens when you want to grow, for example. You want all your new cells to have the same DNA as the previous cells.

As you will recall humans are 2n=46. The convention when describing a person's karyotype (chromosome composition) is to list the total number of chromosomes, then the sex chromosomes, and then anything out of the ordinary. Most of us are 46,XX or 46,XY. What follows are some examples of chromosome number and chromosome structure abnormalities.

It covers types and causes of DNA mutations, mechanisms of DNA damage, and major DNA repair pathways, including base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, mismatch repair, and double-strand break repair. The text also discusses the biological consequences of mutations and the importance of DNA repair in preventing diseases like cancer.

While bright field microscopy has visibility limitations, FISH offers clearer identification but is resource-intensive. Emerging techniques like PCR and DNA chips show promise for accurate DNA quantification.
