Genetics in Communities

The Genetics in Communities project aims to inform and support everyone to make the best use of available genetic services.

We want everyone in our communities to know what genetics is about and how they can use this knowledge to improve their health.

Genetics is the study of genes. Genes are tiny parts of every cell in our bodies that are passed on from parents to children. The study of genes has led to major developments in knowledge and technologies that will allow us to live healthier lives.
