A Mandelian disorder is one that occurs when a single gene causes a disease and this disease is then carried over using Mandel's laws, and an example of such as disorder can be Cystic Fibrosis. Chromosomal Disorders are ones that exist due to abnormalities with the chromosomes or with the numbers of chromosomes. A person can have more or fewer chromosomes than normal, and such a disease is Down Syndrome.
