Which Diseases are most Common Contraction or Genetics?

I’ve been asked the question so many times in my life, sometimes I feel like I’m on some sort of game show: “Doctor, doctor, which disease is most common by contraction or genetics?” Genetics is a complicated process. It’s more complicated than scientists think. One example that describes the difficulties of finding out which genetic illnesses are most common is research on nicotine addiction.

Genetics and Contraction are both causes of Diseases. But one is not necessarily more common than the other. Most scientists agree that genetics are some of the most common causes of Diseases.

Diseases are Common Contraction or Genetics

Both genetics and contraction can cause diseases.

Diseases caused by genetics are inherited from your parents and are passed down through generations. This means that if your mother or father had a certain disease, you have a good chance of having it as well.

Some diseases are more common in certain ethnic groups than others, so it’s important to know what kind of genetic traits you may have inherited from your family. Genetic tests can determine this for you, but these tests aren’t always accurate.

Contracted diseases are those that people get from exposure to bacteria or viruses. The most common contracted diseases include colds, the flu, measles, and chickenpox.

When it comes to disease, there are two main causes: genetics and environmental factors.

Genetics means that the disease is inherited from your parents. For example, if one of your parents has diabetes (a genetic condition), then it’s very likely that you will develop diabetes as well.

Genetic conditions are called “inborn errors of metabolism.” These are disorders caused by faulty genes that can cause a wide range of problems from birth defects to organ failure to cancer.

Environmental factors include things like smoking and drinking alcohol during pregnancy, exposure to radiation or toxic chemicals during pregnancy or childhood, lack of exercise during adulthood (being sedentary for long periods), or even living in a certain area with an increased risk for certain diseases (like getting cancer in Florida).

Some diseases can be both genetic and contracted at different points in their progression, for example, the flu is both contracted and hereditary because it is passed on by contact with someone who has the virus and can also be inherited through family members who have a history of influenza-like symptoms during childhood.
