Medical Genetics:

The field of medical biology is concerned with the physical and chemical properties of genes and how they are expressed, which affects how an organism develops and is maintained. The field of medical genetics is very new, and at this point, it is used to explain the causes of many inherited disorders. Health conditions like mannosidosis and galactosemia occur because of the lack of a specific protein or enzyme that prevents the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and, as a result, manifests clinical symptoms. These conditions are similar to haemophilia, which results in the generation of unreliable proteins. Approximately 200 "inborn errors" of metabolism in animals have been identified.
