A genetic disorder is a condition that is caused by an abnormality in an individual's DNA. Abnormalities can be as small as a single-base mutation in just one gene, or they can involve the addition or subtraction of entire chromosomes.
An individual may have genetic predisposition for one or more diseases.
But s/he may or may not suffer that disease in his/ her lifetime!
In most of the cases, some excitatory factor stimulate the predisposing condition and cause disease.
In absence of such excitatory factor, the disease progression might be slow or not at all!
As example: tobacco use may stimulate predisposition of many types of cancer among individuals.
Thanks
Very interesting question
relatives marriage lead to a genetic disorder. A genetic disorder is not condition. It is disease status.

I really care about your wonderful opinions and valuable feedback.
Thank you so much
I would think , nature has many many valuable resources ...

An individual's genetic makeup (genotype, which part of the DNA sequence) determines his her phenotype or specific characteristic, including hereditary diseases. Testing kits are available in the US for detailed genetic testing ranging from $99 to $199. These in-home testing can help assess the genetic health risks for a large number of diseases, ancestry information wellness (and the way genes play a role), indication of being a carrier of certain diseases, and other genetic traits.

Good question Doctor!
There are several ways in which you can identify the pathological problems that come through genetic disorder, but I do not think getting results takes only minutes! !
Among these methods are:
Blood sample A member of the health care team will get a sample by inserting a needle into your arm vein. For newborns, a blood sample is taken by pricking your baby's heel.
In some cases, a swab sample is taken from inside the cheek for the purpose of genetic testing.
- Amniocentesis. This prenatal genetic test is based on a sample of amniotic fluid. During amniotic fluid removal, the doctor inserts a fine hollow needle through the abdominal wall and then into your womb, then pulls a small amount of amniotic fluid into the syringe, and then removes the needle.
In this case, the doctor takes a tissue sample from the placenta. Depending on your condition, the sample can be taken using a catheter through the cervix or through the abdominal wall and the uterus using a fine needle.
Lots are information, research reports, case studies on the aspect are available online.
I recommend the answer given by Dr Pattanayak. It is very satisfactory
There is no genetic test performed in minutes , but there is a series of tests and tests where genetic mutations are detected ,
