Disease Prevention

Genetic research studies have shown us that single genes or groups of genes are involved in health and disease. Understanding genetic factors and genetic disorders is important in learning more about promoting health and preventing disease. 

Today, we know that some genetic changes have been associated with an increased risk of certain health conditions, like heart disease and cancer. We even know of genes that may increase an individual or couples' chance of having a child affected with a birth defect or developmental disability. 

With time, genetics has helped us understand how medical conditions happen, but more importantly how they can be prevented and sometimes even treated.
