Genetics of Endocrine Disorders

Genetics of endocrine disorders involves studying how our genes influence the function of hormone-producing glands like the thyroid, pancreas, and adrenal glands. Mutations or variations in specific genes can lead to conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease, or adrenal insufficiency. These genetic factors can be inherited or occur spontaneously, affecting hormone levels and overall health. Understanding these genetic links helps in diagnosing, treating, and potentially preventing endocrine disorders, as well as guiding personalized medicine approaches for affected individuals and their families.
