Neuro-Genetic Disorders
Neuro-genetic disorders are a group of illnesses that are caused by specific changes in the genetic material, either inherited or acquired. These disorders are caused by alterations in the DNA sequence which affect the functioning of the cells, and particularly the nerve cells. They can affect the development of the nervous system, as well as the brain, or the formation of particular proteins critical for the functioning of the nerves. Symptoms can vary between patients, and depending on the type of disorder, can lead to serious consequences and even death. Despite the severity of these conditions, there is a lot that can be done to treat them, including medications, therapies and lifestyle changes. Research is ongoing in order to gain a better understanding of these conditions, as well as to develop new treatments and therapies.
