Genetics Research
Genetics studies the genes and DNA coding that each person inherits from their parents
and how these genes can lead to disease or better health. Some inherited genes cause
diseases such as Tay-Sachs or sickle cell anemia, while mutations in genes can cause
genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome. However, doctors also use genetics to understand
which treatments may work best for an individual.
