Overview

Genes Disease susceptibility genes are genetic variations that increase an individual's likelihood of developing a particular disorder or condition. These genes affect the body's ability to perform normal physiological functions and can be passed down from one generation to the next. They are believed to be responsible for up to 20% of all diseases, making them an important factor in the risk of disease in the population. By identifying and understanding these genes, researchers can develop targeted therapies and preventive strategies for individuals with a higher risk for a certain disease. Knowledge of disease susceptibility genes can also help in the diagnosis of inherited diseases, as well as allow families to make informed decisions about reproductive health.
