DQ1 Genomic Influence on Complex Health Problems

Many common chronic diseases are influenced by genomic factors. For this discussion you will examine the ways in which genomic factors influence a specific health problem. Examples of complex health problems you might consider for your discussion post are types of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and psychiatric or behavioral disorders.

For your initial post, select one chronic health problem that is influenced by genetic and genomic factors and address the following. Be sure to follow the requirements for initial postings found in the Faculty Expectations Message (FEM).

Summarize the pathophysiology as well as the signs and symptoms of your chosen chronic condition.

Analyze the ways in which genetic and genomic factors influence the following:

Rate of occurrence of the condition.
