The word "lor Genes" is spelled with a silent "G" at the beginning, which can often be confusing for non-native English speakers. The correct pronunciation is /lɔːrˈʒiːnz/. The "LOR" sound is pronounced with an open "o" sound (similar to "law"), followed by a soft "r." The "GENES" portion is pronounced with a soft "g" sound (like "j") and a long "e" sound. This word refers to a group of French genes that are associated with certain genetic disorders.
