That is one reason genetic disorders can occur but far from the only reason.
Often times it’s just a one-off mutation that “breaks” a gene.
It can also just be a rare, recessive hereditary trait that would require both parents to be carriers of the affliction and still only give a 1 in 4 chance of the offspring having it.
