what is the difference beetween heriditary and genetic  disease?

There is no difference, dear, both mean the same thing.  It's a disease in your genetic code, which you inherited.

Cystic fibrosis (CF), also called mucoviscidosis, is an autosomal, recessive, hereditary disease of the exocrine glands. It affects the lungs, sweat glands and the digestive system, causing chronic respiratory and digestive problems. It is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. It is the most common fatal autosomal recessive disease in Caucasians.

The two diseases are totally different.  This comes from a person who has lived with folks with each disease.\nCheck out the resource for more info on the symptoms.\n\nIt IS possible for a person to have both though.

A hereditary disease of the exocrine glands, usually developing during early childhood and affecting mainly the pancreas, respiratory system, and sweat glands. It is characterized by the production of abnormally viscous mucus by the affected glands, usually resulting in chronic respiratory infections and impaired pancreatic function. Also called mucoviscidosis.\n\nCystic Fibrosis At A Glance\n\n*Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most commonserious genetic (inherited) diseases. \n*CF gene is carried by 1/20 persons (in *Caucasianpopulations) and 1 in 400 couples is at risk for having childrenwith CF.\n*CF is characterized by the production of abnormalsecretions leading to mucous build-up.\n*CF mucous build-up can impair the pancreas and,secondarily, the intestine.\n*CF mucous build-up in lungs can impair respiration.\n*Early diagnosis of CF is of great importance.\n*Early and continuing treatment of CF is valuable.\n\nFor more information try:  http://www.cff.org/home/

They are genetically related. But not the same.They are in different spaces.

****Go to the website, there's alot more info. there. Good luck with you're project.\n\n\nIntroduction\n\nSmith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a distinct and clinically recognizable genetic disorder characterized by a specific pattern of physical, behavioral, and developmental features. SMS, which was first described in the early 1980's by Ann C.M. Smith, MA (a genetic counselor) and Ellen Magenis, MD (a cutogeneticist), is the result of a deletion of chromosome 17 (17p11.2). The chromosomal deletion occurs from a spontaneous genetic change (mutation) that happens for unknown reasons, therefore, it is not a familial disorder. SMS is considered a rare disorder and is estimated to occur in 1 out of every 25,000 live births. Currently there are over 100 cases reported, however, it is believed that SMS is widely underdiagnosed because clinical features may be subtle. It is expected that with increased awareness, the number of those identified as having SMS will increase.

Retinoblastoma (RB) is a genetic disease because it is caused by an error, called a mutation, in the retinoblastoma gene.  Normally each person should have two copies of the retinoblastoma gene, one gene inherited from their mother and the second retinoblastoma gene inherited from their father.  \n\nThe risk for other members of the family to be affected is high when the affected child has retinoblastoma in both eyes.  If only one eye has retinoblastoma but there are other family members affected with retinoblastoma, the risks remain high for other relatives.  When the affected child has tumors in one eye and is the only affected individual in the family the risk for relatives to have retinoblastoma is lower.\n\n            Hereditary unilateral retinoblastoma can only be distinguished from non-hereditary unilateral retinoblastoma by identification of the mutations in both copies if the retinoblastoma gene of tumor cells.  A blood sample must then be examined for the same mutations.  Identification of the same retinoblastoma mutation in blood indicates heritable retinoblastoma, while its absence in blood suggests non-heritable retinoblastoma.  \n\n*** There is a chart on the web page listed below:\nhttp://www.retinoblastoma.ca/first%20article.htm

It depends on when the genetic disorder appears and it's affect on reproduction.  Having children, that is, passing on the recessive genetic mutation is the key factor when assessing impact.  The answer is, which ever has the greater impact on the species ability to reproduce.

Yes. Genetic diseases are passed to future generations through the 23 pairs of chromosomes from each parent.\nGenetic and hereditary diseases are one and the same.

a lot of diseases are recessive, meaning you have to have 2 of the diseased gene before the disease shows. in the normal population a girl and a guy wouldn't have a large chance of having 2 recessive genes and give their child the disease, but if the girl and guy are related the chance of them both having a recessive diseased gene are much higher. therefore their chance of having a diseased child is much greater.

Diabetes is a group of diseases, each with different influence of genetic factors on disease risk and severity.  With the two most frequent forms, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, disease risk is inherited as a multifactorial trait.

Mitochondrial cytopathies are a heterogeneous group of\ndisorders that can affect almost all organ systems reflecting ATP depletion. Neuromuscular disorders were the first to be studied, and direct evidence of mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) abnormalities was demonstrated in 1988.\nHowever, only 6% of the patients suspected of having mitochondrial disorders have been found to have mtDNA\npoint mutations or deletions. Most pediatric mitochondrial\ndisorders are caused by defects in nuclear genes\nand with an autosomal recessive inheritance. This case\nof neonatal mitochondrial dysfunction presenting with\nhyperammonemia and ventricular tachycardia expands\nthe clinical spectrum of these disorders.

It is a rare congenital condition called Hypertrichosis. It is the condition that afflicts the "wolf boys" that were in the news a few years ago.

G6PD is a metabolic disorder also known as Von Gierke's Disease. It is an enzyme deficiency that prevents glucose from being released from cells into your blood. Which results in enlarged liver and kidneys. \nIt is genetic, and recessive, so a person needs to get both copies of the gene to have it. It can be treated, but not reversed.
