Top 10 Worst Hereditary Diseases

By Hereditary diseases we mean those diseases which are genetic in nature. These genetic disease passes from parents to their offspring. Many researchers and scientists have tried working out cure for such diseases in the answer of which they often suggest that the genetic makeup needs to be changed and modified which is infact an interference with the nature works. The list is as under;

No. 10 Alcoholism

In the language of chemistry we call alcohol as ethanol, prepared by the distillation of 15% ethanol. It creates many problems for drinkers and alcohol addicts for the same reason it is not allowed in Islam. But recent researches report about 50 percent of the hazard for alcoholism is genetically determined. The ailment is measured genetically composite, meaning that several genes come into play and they can affect individuals differently.

The statistics suggest that more than ten million people of US cannot distinguish between red and green. However there is a saturation of disorder between the two opposite genders. Men are most likely to get this disease as compared to women because of the single X chromosome present in their human genome however in females there are two X chromosomes if one gets affected the other X chromosome will play the role of its counterpart.

No. 6 Obesity

Great size fries and a heavy set of genes is a formula for fatness. One scientific theory suggests the same genes that helped our ancestors survive famines are now working against people living in places where food is abundant.

Many of today’s stuffed waistlines have only to do with eating too much of the junk foods, however.

 

No. 5 Heart Disease

Heart diseases are of many kinds and most of them are genetic in nature such as, high blood pressure disease and heart strokes.

If you can’t tolerate milk, your relatives probably left cow udders alone.

No.1 Bald

Baldness is much common mostly in men; researchers and scientist still don’t know any particular reason for such disease. It is usually caused by several abnormalities in genetic makeup.
