Hereditary diseases are diseases that are passed down from generation to generation through genetic material. They can affect the functioning of various organs and systems, manifesting themselves both in childhood and in adulthood. Some of them have a serious impact on a person's health, while others can remain hidden and manifest only under certain conditions.<\/p>\n

What are hereditary diseases and why do they occur?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hereditary diseases are based on changes in genes or chromosomes. These changes can be inherited from parents or arise spontaneously through mutations during fetal development. Mutations affect the structure or function of proteins, which can lead to disruptions in the functioning of cells and the body as a whole.<\/p>\n

The development of hereditary diseases depends on the mechanism of transmission of genetic material. They can be:<\/p>\n
