A member asked:
How old should you be before it becomes unlikely for genetic illnesses to appear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such age: Type ii diabetes is our most important genetic disorder and it declares itself in later life. Huntington's (autosomal dominant) can announce itself in old age, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidneys may sit silently until late middle age. If you have a specific concern, get with your physician.
