Genetics give the person the tendency for various diseases or disorders. The environment can have an impact on turning on those genetics. One example of this is a person with a predisposition for cancer. The environment can increase or decrease their probability of getting cancer.

Are a persons genes or upbringing more important is this is the question?

Both. The best way to look at this are identical twins. They basically share the same genetics but not the same environment (this even starts in the womb). Even identical twins that are raised in the same household often have different characters and even slightly different physical properties. To determine if a trait is predominantly influenced by genetics vs. environment, scientists often compare correlations between identical vs nonidentical twins. If a certain trait is more often shared by identical twins than is the case for the nonidentical twins, it indicates a significant impact of genetics.
