The document discusses the significance of genetic research in understanding and addressing health problems that are increasingly affecting younger individuals. It details various research methodologies, including family studies and large group analyses, to assess genetic contributions to diseases. The advantages of genetic research include risk assessment for diseases and alleviating anxiety among family members regarding hereditary health issues.
Overview Of Genetic Research
- 1. Overview Of Genetic Research Gone are the days when human body experienced health problems due to age. In the current scenario, there is no relation between the age and the disease. In other words, the cases of young kids facing heart and various other severe problems, has made humankind more prone to health issues. Considering this threat, various health experts have been conducting various researches to find ways and means of detecting, curing and sometimes preventing diseases. One of the key researches that seem to have changed the whole perception towards human health diseases is genetic research. Thus, Genetic research is characterised as the study of human DNA to find out what and how genes and environmental factors contribute to diseases. The aim of genetic research is based on the pillar that if we find out what causes disease, we can better detect disease, the better treat disease and hopefully even prevent disease from happening in the first place. The fact that every disease has its source in a genetic component forms the base of genetic research. Depending on the disease, the genetic contribution may be more, less, or, most often, somewhere in between. Therefore, considering this impact, scientists and experts are studying almost all kinds of diseases to find how and with what magnitude is the genetic contribution. However, considering the fact that we inherit genes from our parents and ancestors, our body nearly consist 25,000 genes that have DNA in each gene. So, it is loud and clear that the genetic science is an in-depth science that needs detail studying of not only one person, but the entire family. However, genetic research can be done in different ways and forms like:
- 2. • Research involving families: Diseases like autism, cancer and Alzheimer are quite common diseases these days. However, instead of looking at that one patient, genetic research does the study of the entire family to check whether and how many people in that family have faced such complex health problems • Research involving large groups of people: In this type, the DNA research is done among two large groups out of which, one group is the disease infected group and the other is non-infected group. In addition, majority of the people involved in this test are not related to each other. • Specific candidate research: When the research is focussed at finding out the contribution of genes to a particular disorder, then the research is done on a particular candidate. Thus, with such detailing and in-depth information gathering process, various experts have accepted the fact that genetic research is definitely a powerful tool in controlling the widespread of diseases. In addition, here are some of the glaring benefits of genetic research: • Helps to understand of how much an individual is at risk of a certain disease. Thus leading you to take the necessary preventive measures • Helps reduce possible anxiety among family members, if the ancestors or some of the family members suffer severe health problems like cancer, etc. In addition to the various organisations, the Trivedi Effect phenomenon too is taking the help of genetic science to heal people.
