Genetic disorders rarely have effective treatments, though gene therapy is being tested as a possible treatment for some genetic diseases, including some forms of retinitis pigmentosa.
- Gauchers disease is a genetic disease affecting metabolism. It is more treatable then most other genetic diseases, and can be treated with enzyme replacement therapy, medication miglustat, and bone marrow transplantion.
As many diseases are inherited genetically very few have a fixed treatment, and only have it if caught in time. Others may never be revealed and cause death.
