Genetics is the study of the chemistry of cells, tissues and organs associated with heredity. Clinical biochemical genetics involves the biochemical analysis of chromosomes as they relate to inherited tendencies.

The geneticist can analyze biochemical laboratory tests to determine the diagnosis and management of genetic diseases and inherited disorders.
