Gene mapping involves decoding a person's DNA to learn about their health. While gene mapping can provide some insights, it cannot definitively determine what diseases a person will develop, as identical twins can develop different diseases despite shared genes. Additionally, lifestyle factors like smoking and alcohol consumption greatly impact health outcomes more than genetics alone. Gene mapping is mostly used for research purposes currently and does not customize individual medical care.

2. WHAT IS GENE MAPPING?
 Its when scientists decode you DNA, to find out
different things about you. In this case the topic is
health.

3. CAN GENE MAPPING SOLVE HEALTH
MYSTERIES?
 No, studies show that out of thousands of identical
twins with their shared genes can develop different
diseases.

4. MY THOUGHTS…
 Genetics cant help you figure out what diseases
you can get, there are risk factors you can try and
prevent.
 All in all don’t look to your genes just try to prevent
things as much as you can before its to late… don’t
smoke if you don’t want cancer. Don’t consume to
much alcohol if you don’t want liver problems.


5. WHAT I LEARNED:
 You can find a lot in DNA, just not everything.
 “Today, scientists map entire genomes mostly for
research”
 that gene mapping does not customize care for
certain people.
