Currently around 4,000 genetic disorders are known; new ones are constantly being discovered. The vast majority of these disorders are quite rare, and affect one person in every several thousands or millions. Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common genetic disorder; around 5% of the population of the United States carry at least one copy of the defective gene.
Additionally, some people in Japan developed genetic disorders. This was in part due to the effects of radiation from the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
