Question

Following his diagnosis, Trenton’s doctor explains that his condition is caused by a mutation in genes along with some environmental factors too. What was MOST likely Trenton’s diagnosis?


color blindness


sickle cell disease


diabetes


Huntington’s disease

Answer 1

Based on the information provided, the most likely diagnosis for Trenton, considering that his condition is caused by a mutation in genes along with some environmental factors, would be **diabetes**.

While sickle cell disease and Huntington’s disease are primarily genetic disorders, diabetes often involves both genetic predisposition and environmental factors such as diet and lifestyle.

Color blindness is typically inherited and does not involve environmental factors in the same way as diabetes. So, diabetes fits the description best.
