Recessive Genetic Disorders
There are several recessive genetic disorders. Please research and post one of this disorders. Then I would like you to do some research about what can be done to help people with these disorders. Please put your sources with your post.

Anyone can carry any type of recessive gene. However, certain ethnic groups are more likely to carry certain recessive genes, because of where the mutation originated. For example, the gene that causes Tay-Sachs disease is found most commonly in people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a blood disorder that a child is born with. It's passed down through a parent’s genes. Children with SCD make an abnormal type of hemoglobin. This is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to all parts of the body. With SCD, the body organs and tissues don’t get enough oxygen.
Healthy red blood cells with normal hemoglobin are round and move easily through blood vessels. When a child has SCD, the red blood cells are hard and sticky. They are shaped like the letter C. These damaged red blood cells (sickle cells) clump together. They can’t move easily through the blood vessels. They get stuck in small blood vessels and block blood flow. This blockage can cause pain. It can also damage major organs.

cystic fibrosis In people with CF, a defective gene causes a thick, sticky buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. In the lungs, the mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria leading to infections, extensive lung damage, and eventually, respiratory failure. In the pancreas, the mucus prevents the release of digestive enzymes that allow the body to break down food and absorb vital nutrients.

Tay-Sachs. Tay-Sachs is a fatal disorder that takes place in the nervous system. It is caused by the absence of a hexosyaminidase A enzym. This disease is not cureable.

There is cystic fybrosis wich is mucus in the lungs that blocks the air ways, new born screening helps with early diagnosis.
