Neurogenetics is a field of study that explores the genetic factors underlying the development and function of the nervous system. It focuses on understanding how genetic variations and mutations contribute to various neurological disorders and conditions. This abstract provides an overview of neurogenetics, including the principles of inheritance, genetic mechanisms, and the role of genes in neurological development and function. It highlights the significance of genetic research in unravelling the complex genetic architecture of neurologic diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and autism spectrum disorders. Furthermore, the abstract discusses the potential applications of neurogenetics in diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapies for these disorders, as well as the ethical considerations associated with genetic testing and counselling.
