Introducing unclean genes A gene that has been connected to a specific illness or condition, such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or other chronic illnesses, is known as a "dirty gene." Typically, these genes have mutations that increase a person's risk of contracting certain diseases or even trigger the manifestation of certain diseases. These mutations can be found in genes that are both inherited and acquired, i.e., they can be inherited from either parent or acquired from exposure to the environment or a person's lifestyle choices. The detection of these mutations in a person's DNA is done by genetic testing. This technique allows for the early detection of a person's risk of contracting specific ailments or diseases.
