The Gene Screen app from the DNA Learning Center offers you a look at how recessive genetic traits and diseases are inherited and how certain diseases are more prevalent in different populations. You can go through the four sections in Learn About Genetics to get an introduction to genetics or you can head on into the Inheritance Calculators, where you can work out patterns of recessive inheritance. Included among these calculators is a section on Jewish Genetic Diseases, which lets you compare the prevalence of genetic disease in Jewish communities compared with the general population. Along with the prevalence, you can get background information on each of the diseases.
Finally, the interactive ancestry map provides information on some genetic diseases that are more common in certain areas of the world.
