Content: Genetically inherited diseases are diseases that are passed down through generations within your family. These diseases are specifically transfered through the genes in our DNA. These diseases are passed down by carriers of mutated and defective genes. It is important to be aware and understand what you may be at risk of contracting, due to your family history, so that if you are susceptible of becoming ill you can take precautinary measures to help prevent the illness from becoming life threatening. No comments: How Genetic Diseases Are Transferred? Genetic illnesses are passed down from parents to their children through mutated and dysfunctional genes. Children diagnosed with genetic diseases may have inherited the abnormal, dysfunctional or mutated gene from either one, or both of their parents. Genetic diseases can be passed down through generations even if the carrier doesnt have any symptoms of carrying that disease. The risk of getting a genetic disease increases if both parents carry abnormal or dysfunctional genes.
