    Three boxes in the world of genetics: box 1 is cytogenetics, box 2 is monogenic, and box 3 is multifactorial, or what we call it polygenic genes. These boxes hold a hand full of genetical information that will change our future forever. Box 1 contain many aspects considering with Down Syndrome, Patau Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome, and Turner Syndrome. Box 2 contained many diseases like sickle cell anemia, Cystic Fibrosis, TayS
