About Genetics

Genetics is the study of how traits are passed down from parents to their children. This can be done by looking at DNA, which contains the instructions for how a person’s body is built and how it functions. By understanding DNA, we can better understand how diseases are passed down in families and how to treat them.

By studying genetics, people can learn about different disorders and how they are inherited. Additionally, genetics can be used to predict an individual’s risk for certain diseases. Finally, genetics can be used to choose treatments that are most likely to be effective for an individual based on their unique genetic makeup.
