Summary:
Huntington’s Disease
This is a genetic condition that affects your nervous system. Have you heard of Huntington’s disease before? 1 in every 10,000 Americans is said to be affected with the condition each year. Another 150,000 are said to be developing it.
Albinism
For those who are unsure, albinism is a series of genetic conditions where a person lacks melanin in their skin, hair and eyes. The condition occurs across many ethnic groups. People with the condition are normally at higher risk of skin disease and skin cancer.
Haemophilia
Some people are petrified by just the sight of blood. Having this genetic condition would be a nightmare for these folks. Haemophilia is a disorder where your blood doesn’t clot properly. This makes it difficult to control bleeding.
Tourette Syndrome
Before we talk about it’s genetic origins, we must first clear a few things up. It is a common belief that people with Tourette’s spend their days yelling inappropriate words in public. This is unfortunately just another exaggeration brought on by pop culture.
High Blood Pressure
Did you know that 1 in every 3 American adults suffers from high blood pressure? Since the symptoms are not always clear, many people don’t realize they have it.
Asthma
Who knew you could inherit asthma? Asthma is a lung disease characterized by swelling of the airways. This can leave your chest feeling tight, making it harder to breath. In severe cases, people can barely breathe at all.
Coronary Artery Disease
This is something you definitely need to pay attention to. With Coronary Artery Disease, plaque and cholesterol have built up, causing your arteries to become narrow. As a result, less blood is supplied to the heart.
Coronary Artery Disease is the most common type of heart disease, affecting over 18 million American adults.
Diabetes
Were you aware that 1 in every 3 people with Type 2 Diabetes are unaware they have it? Diabetes is a serious disease in which your blood sugar levels are higher than normal.
