The field of neurogenetics is dedicated to understanding the role of genetics in the development and progression of neurological disorders. Researchers are uncovering how mutations in specific genes lead to a wide range of conditions, from rare inherited diseases to more common neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. The use of advanced technologies, such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS), is helping to identify new genetic variants associated with neurological diseases, offering insights into their underlying causes. Furthermore, the advent of gene therapy and genome editing techniques is providing new hope for treating genetic neurological conditions by correcting or replacing faulty genes. The study of epigenetics also plays a vital role in understanding how environmental factors influence genetic expression in the brain.
