Question 7 • Contemporary Health

Which disorder is a single-gene disease?

Answer
A
osteoporosis
B
celiac disease
C
type 2 diabetes
D
Huntington’s disease

Explanation

Huntington’s disease is caused by a mutation in a single gene, HTT, and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Osteoporosis, celiac disease, and type 2 diabetes generally involve multiple genes and environmental factors, so they are not single-gene diseases.
