Question

Which of the following is/are the genetic disorder?

• A. Alkaptonuria
• B. Albinism
• C. Muscular dystrophy
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Alkaptonuria is an inherited condition that causes urine to turn black when exposed to air. Mutations in the HGD gene cause alkaptonuria.
The word albinism refers to a group of inherited conditions. People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin or hair. They have inherited altered genes that do not make the usual amounts of a pigment called as melanin.
Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
