Genetic Influence

Meaning

The measurable and enduring impact of an individual’s inherited deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence on their physiological characteristics, susceptibility to disease, metabolic rate, and response to environmental stimuli and clinical interventions. Understanding this influence is paramount in precision medicine, as it informs personalized strategies for hormonal balance, nutritional planning, and longevity protocols. The genome provides the foundational blueprint for all biological function.
