Identify a disease that is caused by a flawed gene (incorrect nucleotide sequence). Describe the symptoms of the disease. Indicate the locus of the flawed gene (locus means where the gene is found on a specific chromosome). Also identify if there is a genetic test for this disease and if there are treatments or a cure. Are there ways to prevent this disease from being passed down to the offspring of folks that carry this gene?

There are different diseases caused by gene mutations. Incorrect nucleotide sequencing
can cause cancer (Singh et al., 2014). Flawed genes cause mutations, and the majority of cancers
are caused by mutation. While cancer is said to be a lifestyle disease, lifestyles such as smoki...
