It's a common observation in modern urban population that most people find an easy excuse in blaming it on their genes for poor health. What they deliberately tend to forget is the simple fact that genes, or genetic makeup of a human body is only partly responsible for their health conditions.
Environmental and situational risk factors, though have a significant effect on health condition of an individual, it is the behavioral aspect of a person that is more responsible for his poor health.
The completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP) has led to increased availability of genetic risk information linking gene variants to a number of common health conditions.
Recently, Suzanne O'Neill and her colleagues from the National Human Genome Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health in Maryland, US, conducted a survey to identify the link between family history, behavioral risks and causal attributions for diseases.
