The following is a list of genetic disorders and if known, type of mutation and for the chromosome involved. Although the parlance "disease-causing gene" is common, it is the occurrence of an abnormality in the parents that causes the impairment to develop within the child.
When the genetic disorder is inherited from one or both parents, it is also classified as a hereditary disease. Some disorders are caused by a mutation on the X chromosome and have X-linked inheritance. Very few disorders are inherited on the Y chromosome or mitochondrial DNA (due to their size). [3]
This is a list of disorder codes in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database. These are diseases that can be inherited via a Mendelian genetic mechanism. OMIM is one of the databases housed in the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information. Isolated 17,20-lyase deficiency; 202110; CYP17A1

Mitochondrial myopathies are diseases caused by mutations related to mitochondria, and thus are generally inherited from the mother with variable expressivity due to heteroplasmy. Kearns–Sayre syndrome; Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) Myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF)
