Several genetic disorders arise due to mutations in specific genes:
Cystic Fibrosis: Caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene. Sickle Cell Anemia: Results from a mutation in the HBB gene. Huntington's Disease: Due to an expanded repeat mutation in the HTT gene. Phenylketonuria (PKU): Caused by mutations in the PAH gene.
