Which of the following is NOT a type of genetic disorder?

Genetic disorders are conditions caused by alterations in genes or chromosomes. Cystic Fibrosis and Parkinson's disease are classified as genetic disorders because they are linked to specific genetic mutations. Cystic Fibrosis results from mutations in the CFTR gene, and although the exact cause of Parkinson's disease involves both genetic and environmental factors, certain genetic mutations are known to increase susceptibility to the disease.

Diabetes, particularly Type 1 diabetes, has a genetic component but is also influenced by environmental factors and lifestyle choices. Type 2 diabetes is largely considered a lifestyle disease, though genetics can play a role in predisposition. However, it does not solely arise from genetic mutations, which is a key characteristic of genetic disorders.

Cardiovascular disease similarly involves a range of risk factors, including genetics, but it typically results from a combination of lifestyle factors (such as diet, physical activity, and smoking) and underlying health conditions such as hypertension and high cholesterol rather than direct genetic mutations. Thus, while certain cardiovascular diseases may have hereditary tendencies, they are not classified strictly as genetic disorders.

In summary, cardiovascular disease fits the definition of a condition that is influenced by many factors, including lifestyle and environment, making it distinct from the inherently genetic nature of cystic fibrosis
