Our body has a story, written in our DNA.Genetic conditions can be a bit like changes to Country, it can affect how your body grows and functions.Genetic changes can be passed down from one generation to the next, or can happen for the first time in our DNA story.While our DNA is similar to others, small differences make us unique and can tell different stories about our health.
