Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of the disorder as well as the effects of prescribed drugs.

My chosen factor is genetics. This can be a very important part of the treatment and pathophysiology for a disease. Genetics determines how susceptible a person is to develop certain diseases, and the symptoms that go with them. The genetics can also influence how fast certain medications are metabolised as well as the efficacy and toxicity of those drugs when they are taken in different dosages. Individuals who have different genetic profiles can experience differing degrees of benefits from a drug or may even suffer adverse reactions based on their genetic disposition. Furthermore, specific gene mutations can alter the expression of certain proteins involved in disease processes such as receptor activity or enzyme production—which can subsequently change the way a patient responds to treatment options available.

Overall then it’s clear that understanding underlying genetics plays important role when attempting treat any given illness . Healthcare professionals can better identify the best course of action by taking into consideration potential genetic variations.
