The appropriate answer is 4. any abnormality of body function. A disorder occurs when any specific part of the body does not function the way it normally should. A disease is a pathological condition that is not caused by a physical injury.
Not all genetic mutations are or lead to disorders and some are treatable usually by corrective surgery or other methods.
