Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Hereditary Conditions
Hereditary conditions are genetic disorders that are passed down from parents to offspring through genes. These conditions can be caused by mutations in a single gene (monogenic), multiple genes (polygenic), or chromosomal abnormalities. Understanding the specific hereditary condition is crucial for determining its treatment options and duration.

Mendel's Laws
RUSP (Recommended Uniform Screening Panel)
The RUSP is a list of conditions recommended for newborn screening in the United States. It includes core conditions that are critical for early detection and intervention, which can significantly improve health outcomes. Familiarity with the RUSP helps in identifying which hereditary conditions are prioritized for screening and subsequent treatment.

History and Experiments
Duration of Treatment
The duration of treatment for hereditary conditions varies widely depending on the specific disorder, its severity, and the treatment approach. Some conditions may require lifelong management, while others might have a defined treatment period. Understanding the expected duration is essential for planning patient care and resource allocation.
