genetic risk
DNA-based susceptibility factor
Genetic risk is the likelihood that inherited traits will lead to a particular disease or condition.
Medical contexts use it to quantify predisposition: She has an elevated genetic risk for breast cancer.
Genetic risk doesn't guarantee outcome—it indicates probability based on DNA markers, family history, or known mutations.
The term appears frequently in discussions of testing and preventive medicine.
