Our genetic makeup plays an important role in the onset or growth of Neurodegenerative Disorders, Genetics and Epigenetics study the genes and their regulation on causing these diseases. They research diseases like Alzheimer’s Disease, and Parkinson’s and discover cures or preventive methods.

Genetics Key Concepts:
✔️ Inherited Mutations
✔️ Somatic Mutations
✔️ Susceptibility Genes
✔️ Gene-Environment Interactions

Epigenetics Key Concepts:
✔️ DNA Methylation
✔️ Histone Modification
✔️ Non-coding RNAs
