Genetic Disorders and Gene Therapy

Genetics

Genetics is the inheritance analysis. Heredity is a biological process in which the parent transmits those genes to their children or offspring. Each child inherits genes from both their biological parents and, in exchange, expresses specific traits. Some of these characteristics may be physical, e.g. hair and eye colour, skin colour, etc. On the other hand, certain genes may also carry the risk of certain diseases and disorders that can spread to their offspring from parents.
