5.Down Syndrome
Down Syndrome people tend to have a shorter life expectancy than the general population, but this is increasing with time. The leading causes of death are respiratory illness or congenital heart problems, though why they seem to be more prone to these ailments is not entirely clear.
4.Alzheimer’s Disease
There is no certain way to avoid getting Alzheimer’s, but some research suggests that lifestyle choices may play an active part in helping to prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and doing things to mentally challenge yourself may all help.
3.Obesity
Obesity is the result of an imbalance caused by people ingesting more calories than they burn. The excess is converted into fat. The brain regulates food intake by responding to signals. Both signals and the responses depend on genes, which means that if the genes have mutated, they may warp the signals.
2.Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes causes the level of glucose in the blood to rise. Symptoms include tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and excessive thirst. Although diabetes is often linked to being inactive and/or overweight, it can also result from an inherited genetic mutation.
1.Cancer
Cancer is the most common mutation in humans by far. Nearly 40% of the population will get cancer at some time in their lives, and in the USA, nearly 1.6 million people are diagnosed with it each year.
