Genetic disease,conceptual artwork. Chromosome weighing down a man. This could represent the effect of having a hereditary disease on a person's lifestyle. Chromosomes are composed of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) coiled around proteins. DNA contains sections,called genes,that encode the structure and function of every cell in the body. Some genes can increase a person's likelihood of developing a disease. Many diseases can have genetic causes,including cancer,Alzheimer's disease and diabetes,that can be passed on to the next generation | |
