How Do Genetic Disorders Interact with Toxicology?
Toxicology studies how chemicals affect living organisms. Genetic disorders can influence an individual's susceptibility to toxins, and conversely, exposure to certain chemicals can exacerbate or even trigger genetic disorders. For instance, individuals with a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene may be more susceptible to carcinogens, increasing their risk of developing cancer.
