Genetic Cargo

Genetic load is a term that describes the influence of genetic factors on a person's health and well-being. It includes both hereditary diseases and congenital malformations that can have serious consequences for a person's health and life. Genetic load can be caused by both genetic mutations and environmental influences.

Genetic load is of global importance as it can influence fertility, mortality, public health, demography and the economy. For example, many hereditary diseases lead to infertility, which in turn can affect fertility and demographic indicators. In addition, people with genetic defects may experience difficulties in learning and social adaptation, which also affects the well-being of society.

One of the most common genetic diseases is Down syndrome. This condition is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21 in the cell and can lead to various physical and mental disabilities
