Genetic disorders are caused by changes or mutations in the information contained in the genes. It can occur when cells are getting older, or when they have been exposed to something harmful. Usually cells recognize mutations and correct them on their own. However, if gene mutation is passed along in an egg or sperm, children can inherit the mutation.
