Several known genetic defects affect how fat you are . However , other pancreatic cell lines not derived from this cell , as well as all other cells of the body , do not carry this genetic defect . Or potentially uninheritable conditions , such as a genetic defect that results in a missing vas deferens ( a tube that carries sperm ) , could be passed on to the next generation because ICSI would allow these functionally infertile men to reproduce . A third locus on band 1q has been described , but the genetic defect at this locus has not yet been identified . The approaches involved generating tissue-specific cDNA libraries , random DNA sequencing , characterization of novel craniofacial genes , antibody production against selected clones to characterize protein expression and to probe function , candidate gene mapping , and linkage to a human genetic defect . The new technology will be a major advance in screening for genetic diseases , but the ability to treat these newly understood genetic defects will lag significantly behind the new-found diagnostic capabilities . " Birth defects ' not due to radiation ' " - " THE children of men working in the nuclear industry are not at greater risk of genetic defects , a new study suggests . When they say the are treating the underlying causes , these vitalistic ideologists refer to a metaphysical life force rather than actual causes of disease such as viruses , bacteria , protozoa , genetic defects , radiation , chemical insult , and so forth . Metabolic and genetic factorsCertain genetic defects of muscle are believed to cause rhabdomyolysis because of the muscle 's inability to use ATP appropriately . Diagnosed at 53 , I was told that even though my mother died at age 48 from the disease , my breast cancer was unlikely to be due to an inherited genetic defect since inherited cancer usually shows up at an earlier age in offspring .
