A mutation is a rare, random, spontaneous change in an organism‘s genome.
Mutations result in no protein or a faulty protein being expressed.
Genetic disorders are caused by changes to genes or chromosomes that result in the proteins not being expressed or the expressed proteins not functioning properly.
