Maybe I'm weird, but I think genetic diseases are really cool. Some of them are kind of funny, like male pattern baldness, which coincidentally is passed down by the mother. Others however are literally a death sentence, such as Huntington's Disease, which is an autosomal dominant disorder (meaning it's carried on the dominant allele). But rather than talk about just one or two like I do on my Disease Focus posts, I'm going to attach a link to a list of ten common genetic diseases, and some various other links containing information about them, and you guys can fell free to browse at you =r leisure.
Top Ten:
