because it is an inactive gene that is passed down by the parent and it can be triggered... i think.... sry.. lol hope it helped
cancer
a genetic disease is passed through the family like diabetes or cancer but a communicable disease is that you get from something or someone
In layman's terms... There is a potential for the disease to have a genetic component that can be passed onto the children. However it is quite rare for retinoblastoma to be caused by a genetic reason. In summary.. There is the potential but unlikely
Any disease that is genetic, or caused by damage to tissue is uncommunicable. Examples are hemophilia, cancer, diabetes, heart diseases.
Cancer is a genetic disease. The main characteristic of this disease is it forms uncontrolled growth of the cells and these uncontrolled growth of cells migrate from the origin to various parts of the body.So, A man with prostrate cancer can not give cancer to his wife.
Nobody 'developed' it ! It is a genetic mutation of the body - not some 'invented' disease.
Cancer cells can be destroyed during chemotherapy, although it does not always work.
no but as I see it treatment of genetic disease is treating a genetic problem as a genetic treatment of a disease is using genetics to stop a certain disease that can be treated with genetics
Cancer is not congenital. It is very rare for a child to get cancer, and even more rarely developed in the first stages of life.
The problem that stems from this is that genetic diseases afflict relatively few people when compared to things like heart disease and cancer. Over three-quarters of all deaths in the last twenty years in this country have been from heart disease, stroke, cancer, or accidental injury.
No. It is caused when a normal cell devides into a mutated cell, which then, if conditions are right, devide constantly and rapidly.
Chickenpox is an infectious disease, not a genetic disease
