B) cause hemophilia, fragile X syndrome, and colorblindness.
C) cause several types of cancers.
D) cause Duchene muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and Huntington disease.
E) make a person susceptible to radiation-induced damage to DNA.

Accepted Answer

Positional cloning in the 1980s and 1990s was instrumental in identifying genes responsible for genetic disorders such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and Huntington disease.
