Genetic research has significantly advanced our understanding of diseases by:
- Identifying disease-causing genes: Identifying the specific genes involved in various diseases, providing insights into their underlying mechanisms.
- Developing targeted treatments: Developing therapies that specifically address the genetic causes of diseases, leading to more effective and personalized treatments.
- Predicting disease risk: Identifying genetic risk factors for certain diseases, allowing for early detection and prevention.
- Understanding disease progression: Investigating how genetic factors influence the progression and severity of diseases.
