Genetic refers to heredity and variation in living organisms that carries the basic inheritance codes called genes. It carries all the information from hair texture, eye's color, height, weight, skin texture, behavior, appearance of organisms and so forth. The genetic codes from either side or both sides of parents might be inherited by their child. In some cases, genetic has showed a substantial role to indulge the development of certain syndromes or diseases as documented in 20 Most Bizarre Congenital Defects/Abnormalities. The abnormalities in an individual's genetic material may have led to health hazards. Below are conditions that are scientifically proven to be inherited from the parents to their child.
Alcoholism
Recent studies show that 50% of people who get addicted to alcoholic drinks are closely related to the genetic problem. They found that in general, drunkard people will more likely to have their children born with a tendency to get addicted with alcohol. As compared to the genetic factor, environmental factor plays a minimal role in influencing people to have addicted with alcoholic drinks in their lives.
Breast Cancer
Though most of the reasons which indulge the incidence of breast cancer are still remain as a mystery, researchers have confirmed that some of the specific gene mutation may lead to cancer. Some females may have infected with breast cancer in their early lives, or may also have both of their breasts being infected with cancerous cells or tumors.
Color Blindness
Approximately 1000 million people in the United States are being diagnosed for a syndrome called color blindness, a state when green and red color could not be seen clearly. Of all, 60 million of them are females who suffer from the similar symptoms. From this analysis, we may ask why female inherited less color blindness gene from the parents as compared to the males. This is because a male can only inherit one X chromosome gene from the mother, while the female has two X chromosome genes. That means if one gene is found to be defect, the other gene can replace its position, and thus females who inherited color blindness genes from their parents are generally lower than males.
Paternity Inherited Bullying Character
When a child was being called to a headmaster's room on the cause of fighting, please do not think that his fighting instinct came naturally. Such bullying character according to the research, may have inherited from his parents. The scientists found that children who have parents with paternity bullying characters will more likely to fight with others. They concluded that the child's aggressive behavior is directly linked to the family genetic factor.
Obesity
The person who was born in a family record of obesity may have high possibility of inheriting the fatter genes from either side or both sides of parents. This fatter gene become worst in this modern day, as the modern diet which is high in cholesterol and fat particularly the fast foods have caused people to become fatter and fatter to the extent they should not be.
Heart Disease
The person who was born in a family record of diabetes, stroke, and hypertension are more likely to inherit the tradition of being getting heart disease. If the parents have a family record of congenital heart defects, his child may be at higher risk of getting a congenital defect on his or her heart.
Giving Birth to Twins
Although the occurrence of the twins are an accidental thing to happen, it might appear once, twice or more in a family who has a record of giving birth to twins as compared to those who are not. This is because in the former case, the woman carries a genetic gene that may have caused the egg cell doubled during her ovulation period. Even though man who carries such gene will not assist his wife to give birth to twins, this genetic gene may have passed to his daughter who may have a possibility of delivering twins in her mature age.
Acne
The research reveals that many children, who are facing the problem of acnes, may have come from their families who have a history record of acnes. Specifically, those children who have their parents suffered from acnes in their youthful period will not have to escape themselves from suffering serious acne problems.
Lactose Intolerance
The person who was born in a family record of having lactose intolerance syndrome may have high possibility of not being able to tolerate with almost all dairy products. That means he or she will feel discomfort, stomach pain or a feel of being vomited the milk he or she just drank. Nevertheless, in the past 10,000 years, human genetic variation has being improved to have the ability to digest milk. Only a small group of people will still have this syndrome inherited.
Balding
Balding is a common scene among the males. Scientists relate balding to genetic factor inherited from either one or both parents who have showed genetic variation in balding. Of course, a permanent full-balding is a very rare case. When this happens to someone, he or she may have hair, and even body hair from other parts of body being shed off as his or her body carries a dominant “shedding” gene.
