Introduction Genetic susceptibility refers to an individual’s increased likelihood of developing a particular disease due to inherited genetic variations. These variations, often found within DNA sequences, influence how the body responds to environmental exposures, pathogens, or physiological stress. While genetics alone rarely […]
Introduction Environmental exposure refers to the contact between humans and various physical, chemical, and biological agents present in the environment. These exposures can occur through air, water, soil, food, or direct contact and can have profound effects on human health and disease […]
Introduction Genetic susceptibility refers to the inherent predisposition of an individual to develop certain diseases based on their genetic makeup. This concept is rooted in the understanding that variations in genes, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mutations, or chromosomal abnormalities, can […]
Introduction Disease susceptibility refers to the predisposition of an individual to develop a specific illness due to a combination of genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and immunological factors. While some individuals may remain resistant to pathogens or harmful stimuli, others exhibit heightened vulnerability, leading […]
Genetic Susceptibility The Inherited Blueprint of Disease Risk Introduction Genetic susceptibility refers to the increased likelihood of developing a particular disease due to a person’s genetic makeup. Unlike deterministic genetic disorders caused by a single gene mutation (e.g., cystic fibrosis or Huntington’s […]
