A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on disease: There are thousands of genetic and inherited diseases and also modes of inheritance. While one's genes cannot be changed, there are therapies nowadays for some genetic disorders targeted spefically for that disorders. If you think you may have a genetic disorder i would suggest seeing a clinical geneticist or a genetic counselor who can evaluate you or your family.
