What are some examples of genetic mutations in humans?

But sometimes these biological differences lead to genetic mutations that are extremely rare, and sometimes debilitating. read more

Some examples of genetic mutations are, hemophilia and albinism (sex linked recessive), achondroplasia (autosomal dominant), mongol idiocy (down syndrome), muscular dystrophy and Parkinsonism (autosomal metabolic disorders). read more

Here are 10 of the most unusual genetic mutations we've identified in humans. No two people are alike, due to the subtly different ways our genomes are expressed. But sometimes these biological differences lead to genetic mutations that are extremely rare, and sometimes debilitating. read more

Some of the mutations in active genes do express themselves in unique and sometimes harmful ways. One of the more common ways this mutation is seen is called heterochromia. This condition is usually a difference in the color of the iris of the eyes, but can also be applied to hair and skin. read more
