The genes are a small part of a long molecule called DNA. DNA is a double stranded molecule (sugar‚ phosphate and four different bases: Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine and Guanine). The bases in the DNA are

    Holoprosencephaly or HPE  is a genetic disorder that affects the brain‚ face‚ and sometimes the body.  This genetic mutation is present while the child is still in the embryonic stage of development in the mother’s womb.  The most identifiable mutation is caused by the addition of chromosome thirteen or trisomy thirteen.  In other cases HPE is caused by abnormalities in the genes SHH‚ SIX3‚ TGIF‚ ZIC2‚ PTCH1‚ FOXH1‚ NODAL‚ CDON‚ and GLI2.  These genes play an important role in the embryo’s development
