Abstract :
Ever since Gregor Johan Mendel proposed the law of inheritance, genetics has transcended the
field of health and has entered all walks of life in its application. Thus, the gene is the pivoting factor
for all happenings revolving around it. Knowledge of gene mapping in various diseases would be a
valuable tool in prenatally diagnosing the condition and averting the future disability and stigma for
the posterity. This article includes an array of genetically determined conditions in patients seen at
our college out-patient department with complete manifestation, partial manifestation and array
of manifestations not fitting into a particular syndrome.
