 Human genetics, study of the inheritance of characteristics by children from parents. Inheritance in humans does not differ in any fundamental way from that in other organisms.The human genome consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs of homologous chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes), each containing genes that code for proteins within the cell. Genetics encompasses study of structure and function of genes; causative factors, physiological consequences of genetic variations as well as various other aspects of heredity. Genetic studies involve in depth analysis of diverse features of DNA and chromosomes, reproduction and heredity, recombination and genetic linkage, gene expression, the central dogma of life, genetic mutations, evolution, genomics and DNA sequencing. Genetics helps in comprehending the molecular aspects of various diseases and helps us to formulate specific treatment and management strategies. Scientists are currently engaged in finding the cure for chronic diseases by modifying the associated genes, a process referred to as gene therapy; and it is speculated as the future of medical treatment practices. Genes are the common factor of the qualities of most human-inherited traits. Study of human genetics can answer questions about human nature, can help understand diseases and the development of effective disease treatment, and help us to understand the genetics of human life. This article describes only basic features of human genetics; for the genetics of disorders please see: medical genetics.
