A genetic disease is a disorder caused by an abnormality in an individual's DNA sequence, which can be inherited or arise spontaneously. These diseases can impact various aspects of health and development and are often caused by mutations in specific genes. Examples include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington's disease.
