There's quite a bit of study thats been done that tells me that every disorder mentioned so far in this thread: Autism, sexual preference, alcoholism and obesity are common diseases which fall under the Multifactorial inheritance disorders. Which again is the area where behavioral disorders come from and also need to have environmental impacts in order for them to become active.

strange, so does this one?

and another

Now if you want to talk about the rarer ones that fall under the monogenetic disorders or chromosome disorders then we can, but neither of them are going to be responsible for the "gay" gene.

So please feel free to further enlighten me if I'm incorrect. Please give me more than another condescending remark.

 

Quote:What are complex or multifactorial disorders?

Researchers are learning that nearly all conditions and diseases have a genetic component. Some disorders, such as sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis, are caused by mutations in a single gene. The causes of many other disorders, however, are much more complex. Common medical problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity do not have a single genetic cause—they are likely associated with the effects of multiple genes in combination with lifestyle and environmental factors. Conditions caused by many contributing factors are called complex or multifactorial disorders.

Although complex disorders often cluster in families, they do not have a clear-cut pattern of inheritance. This makes it difficult to determine a person’s risk of inheriting or passing on these disorders. Complex disorders are also difficult to study and treat because the specific factors that cause most of these disorders have not yet been identified. Researchers continue to look for major contributing genes for many common complex disorders.

For more information about complex disorders:

A fact sheet about the inheritance of multifactorial disorders is available from the Centre for Genetics Education.
The Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin provides basic information about multifactorial inheritance and examples of multifactorial disorders.
Nature Education’s Scitable offers a detailed description of complex and multifactorial diseases and how researchers are studying them.
The National Human Genome Research Institute describes how researchers study complex disorders.
If you would like information about a specific complex disorder such as diabetes or obesity, MedlinePlus will lead you to fact sheets and other reliable medical information. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides a detailed list of diseases and conditions that links to additional information.

Multifactorial diseases don't have a single cause.  They have multiple causes.  They have multiple combinations of multiple causes.  Stating environmental and lifestyle factors play a larger role than genetics is completely false.  That is what you keep ignoring don't understand about this whole genetic argument.  You're not going to get cystic fibrosis from environmental and lifestyle factors unless you inherit a defective CF gene from each parent.

I'm not even going to get into genetic testing because it is beyond your comprehension.

Eye color may get lighter or darker, but "don't it make your brown eyes blue" is just a song lyric.

Sexual preference is not a disorder.  You have a sexual preference.  Is it a disorder?  No.

Two words: just stop.
