| Genetic Disorders Genetic disorders are problems in the genes or chromosomes. They may be inherited, passed along from parent to child, or they can occur on their own. Most genetic disorders are the direct result of a mutation in one gene. Cerebral palsy is not a genetic disorder that can be passed from parent to child.
