Human disease can result from infection by pathogens, environmental conditions, and/or it can be inherited from the parents (i.e. genetics). You are working for the Center for Disease Control and you have been assigned to determine if a new disease results from a pathogen, an environmental condition, or genetics. With what you know right now, how would you determine that the disease is in fact a genetic disorder?
