Hereditary Diseases?

There are a number of hereditary diseases mentioned in the article you read about Iceland鈥檚 database. Find out how much of the population in your country suffers from these diseases. Use a chart and illustrate your research in percentages. The diseases to research are: emphysema, Alzheimer鈥檚, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, and schizophrenia.

If anyone could help me this, I would be really grateful. Thanks

Emphysema, no. Alzheimer's - certianly. MS - certainly. Osteoarthritis - yes. Schizophrenia - there are genetic components, but not actually known for sure.

i don't know..

but can be research at wikipedia.org..

OK?

I think you need to do your own homework. It's the only way to learn.

Ditto what Lola said. There can be a genetic predisposition to MS, but it is not genetic.
