Though there are some genetic disorders that occur during replication or Meiosis that are passed onto offspring not all are. Some non-inheritable disorders are due to random events that occur in reproductive cells. An example of an event in a reproductive cell is the gain or loss of chromosome. All changes in somatic cells however are never heritable. Angelman syndrome is a genetic mutation that affects the nervous system of a person. This disorder occurs in when their is a loss of function in the UBE3A gene most likely due to segment deletion. Angelman syndrome can also be caused when a child inherits two copies of the gene from their
