neutral  Barbara Schulten, MSc (OXON), DPSI: a genetic disorder could have been caused by a mutation, which means it would not have been inherited, Erbleiden means that this genetic disorder is inheritable.

  -> but this is obvious in this context and does not need mentioning as a random genetic mutation does not carry the potential to be passed on to offspring-see the sentence the word is contained in

genetic disorders/defects are encoded in the Genome


Explanation:
In genetic examination and/or engineering, it is already an established fact that genetic (inherited) diseases, defects and disorders are encoded in the human genome. For that reason, for example, tests are done on pregnant women (amniocentesis) to determine if there are any inherited diseases, defects or disorders which might affect the unborn child, such as Down's Syndrome, Tay-Sachs, Spina bifida or others. Such testing can also, incidentally, determine the sex of the fetus.
