Abstract
The exploration of the genetic basis of human diseases has revolutionized modern medicine by offering insights into the molecular underpinnings of health and illness. Genetic variations, whether inherited or acquired, contribute to the susceptibility, onset, and progression of various disorders. This article reviews the categories of genetic diseases, the role of genetic and genomic technologies in diagnosis, and the translational potential of precision medicine. It also addresses ethical challenges and future directions in genetic research, with emphasis on integrating genome-wide data into clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.
