Abstract
Developmental disorders are a group of conditions that result in abnormal growth and development of an individual, often with lifelong consequences. These disorders can arise due to genetic mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, or epigenetic modifications that disrupt the normal process of development. This article explores the relationship between genetics and developmental disorders, examining the role of specific genes, genetic syndromes, and mutations that contribute to these conditions. It discusses how advances in genetic research have helped identify the genetic basis of many developmental disorders, including neurodevelopmental disorders, congenital malformations, and genetic syndromes such as Down syndrome and Rett syndrome. The article also highlights the potential for genetic therapies and interventions to treat or manage these disorders.
