neurogenetic
Nerve development inherited
Neurogenetic describes conditions, processes, or research involving the intersection of the nervous system and genetics.
A neurogenetic disorder arises from genetic mutations affecting brain or nerve function.
The term appears in medical and scientific contexts: neurogenetic testing, neurogenetic disease.
Neurogenetics as a field studies how genes influence the development and function of the nervous system.
