Let's start by looking at what causes genetic conditions.

What causes genetic conditions?

• Did you know there are approximately 20,000 genes in the human genome, which encode the information necessary to make proteins?
• Genetic conditions are the result of mutations, or variants, in a gene
• These missing or damaged genes are often passed down from biological parents but may also occur spontaneously due to damage to the DNA
• A change in just a single gene can result in production of abnormal proteins or the inability to produce a needed protein

Genetic mutations can come in multiple forms.

Some present at the DNA level

A change in a single nucleotide base

Genetic mutations can come in multiple forms.

Some present at the chromosomal level

In a repeated DNA sequence

Added DNA where it doesn't belong

Or missing pieces of DNA

Now that you know how to identify genetic mutations, you're ready to play.

Your objective is to identify all of the mutated genes by tapping them on the screen.

Make sure you identify all of the mutations before they disappear from view!

Identify all of the mutations to get your name at the top of the leaderboard.
