Genetic Disorders in Women

Genetic disorders in women are health conditions caused by abnormalities in genes or chromosomes that specifically affect females. These disorders can result from inherited mutations, spontaneous genetic changes, or chromosomal abnormalities. Common examples include Turner syndrome, which affects development, and certain hereditary cancers linked to BRCA gene mutations. The impact of these disorders can vary widely, influencing physical health, reproductive capabilities, and overall quality of life.
