Complexity of Genetic Contributions to Chronic Diseases
Chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cognitive decline, etc., are not caused by one gene variant but are influenced by multiple genes. For example, more than 1,000 genes contribute to diabetes, while around 20-30 major genes play a key role. Understanding these genetic variations can help identify the main contributors, enabling personalized interventions to optimize health outcomes.
