Genetic risk factors

Description

Genetic risc factors refer to the probability of an individual orgnanism carrying a specific disease-associated mutation, or of being affected with a specific genetic disorder. Genomics is the systematic study of the complete DNA sequences (genome) of organisms. It includes the construction of complete genetic, physical, and transcript maps, and the analysis of this structural genomic information on a global scale such as in genome-wide association studies.
