Contagion of Genetic Disease: All types of genetic diseases occur at birth.

You are either born with the genetic disease in your DNA or not.
So the disease can be inherited from your parents through the DNA,
but cannot be caught later in life.
No person with a genetic disease is contagious or infectious
or able to transmit the disease to another person.
