What is the genetic factor?

The genetic factor of a disease or complex personal trait is the genetic part that regulates that disease or trait. In other words, they are those variants known to have a direct effect on the risk or genetic predisposition to develop diseases or traits. Based on the DNA of each individual, he or she presents one or other genetic variants, which will give rise to a certain genetic risk.

However, the result is not absolute, as environmental factors also determine the onset and/or severity of the pathology, sometimes with a greater influence than the person’s genetics.
