About this resource

A simple introduction to genes, how some health conditions are passed down through families, and why your family health story matters.

A simple introduction to genes, the instructions for our body that are passed down from our parents. The animation explains how some health conditions can be passed down through families, and that having a family history doesn't always mean a person will get the condition. It shows why knowing your family's health story can help your health team look after you and your family.
