 Genetics involves the study of gene structure and function; causative factors, physiological effects of genetic variations, as well as various other heredity aspects. Genetic studies include in-depth study of complex DNA and chromosomal traits, reproduction and inheritance, recombination and genetic association, gene expression, fundamental dogma of life, genetic variations, evolution, genomics, and DNA sequencing. Genetics helps us understand the molecular aspects of different diseases, and helps us formulate specific strategies for treatment and management. Genetic mutation is a permanent modification of DNA. Mutations may or should not bring about changes in the organism. Today, scientists are involved in discovering the cure for genetic diseases by altering the underlying genes, a procedure called gene therapy, and it is projected as the future of medical care. Many enzymes repair mutations in genes that may cause a genetic disorder. These enzymes identify and repair DNA mistakes before expressing the gene and producing an altered protein. If a mutation affects a protein, it may interfere with normal development. Mutation may occur from one single DNA to a large chromosome segment involving multiple genes. Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty used for the detection and treatment of small quantities of radioactive material
