Genetic Epidemiology: Illuminating the Interplay between Genes and Disease

Khaldar Safeukui

The field of epidemiology aims to understand the patterns, causes, and impacts of diseases within populations. Genetic epidemiology, a subfield of epidemiology, focuses on elucidating the role of genetic factors in disease occurrence and distribution. By combining the principles of genetics and epidemiology, this discipline provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between genes and disease. By understanding how genetic variations contribute to disease susceptibility and outcomes, can pave the way for personalized medicine, disease prevention strategies, and advancements in public health. Genetic epidemiology investigates how genetic factors influence the occurrence and distribution of diseases within populations. It explores the genetic variations, such as gene mutations and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)
