Thanks to advances in genetics, doctors now have the ability to understand how certain illnesses pass from generation to generation. Each person has a unique set of chemical blueprints that determines how his or her body looks and functions. These blueprints contain DNA. Specific segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making specific body proteins are called genes. If your DNA contains a mutation, your cells may create proteins that don’t work properly. If this occurs with a protein that plays a critical role in your body’s functioning, you could develop a medical condition.
