Though diseases of wholly genetic origin are individually
rare, they are numerous (several thousand single gene
disorders are described) and are therefore important. Genetic
disorders are incurable and often severe. Some are amenable to
treatment but many are not, so that the emphasis is often
placed on prevention, either of recurrence within an affected
family, or of complications in a person who is already affected.
