Our Health and Genetics Explained
1. What is genetics?
Genetics explores how traits, characteristics, and features pass from one generation to the next, examining how our DNA, inherited from parents, shapes our appearance, bodily functions, and susceptibility to health conditions.
2. Are most health problems genetic?
No, health problems result from a blend of genetic and environmental factors. While genetics may predispose individuals to certain risks, lifestyle choices and environmental exposures significantly contribute to the development and manifestation of conditions.
3. Why does genetics still matter in health?
Genetics is fundamental in determining disease susceptibility, influencing treatment responses, and contributing to overall well-being. It provides crucial information for personalised healthcare, early intervention, and advances in medical research and treatments, emphasising the importance of understanding both genetic and environmental factors.
4. How can I learn more about my genetics and health?
Explore genetic health screening services for insights into health traits and potential predispositions. Additionally, consult with healthcare professionals like Genetic Counsellors and Healthcare Providers. They can assess the appropriateness of genetic testing for your health situation, recommend relevant tests, and interpret the results in the context of your overall well-being.
