Introduction to Genetics and Its Importance in Healthcare

Definition of Genetics

Genetics is the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.

It encompasses the analysis of genes, their function, and their impact on health and disease.

Genetic medicine applies this knowledge to diagnose, treat, and prevent genetic disorders.

Relevance of Genetics in Modern Medicine

Genetics plays a significant role in identifying predispositions to certain diseases, enabling early intervention and prevention strategies.

It aids in developing targeted therapies based on an individual's genetic makeup, enhancing treatment efficacy and reducing side effects.

Personalized medicine, guided by genetic insights, allows for tailored healthcare approaches that consider each patient's unique genetic profile.
