The study of how particular traits are passed from parents to children. Identifiable genetic information receives the same level of protection as other health care information under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Of note for genetic researchers, the rule defines "identifiable" information to include information from the individual as well as relatives. Thus researchers considering whether to de-identify data should review the definition of de-identified information closely.

Genetics are those biological characteristics we inherit from our birth parents, and those universal innate abilities that humans share with each other. Humans inherit 23 pairs of chromosomes from male & female parent. 23rd pairing determines sex. XX = female. XY = male. Chromosomes contain our genes (10-20K in each chromosome), which create protein, needed to build our bodily structures/functions. A gene contains our biological blueprint in terms of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA holds the body's protein building instructions, or bases (A, T, C and G). The results of which make us 99.9% similar, but 0.1% different. Psychology sees this 0.1% in terms of our individual differences ( intelligence, atypical behaviours, and (possibly) personality).

Genetics (from the Greek genno γεννώ= give birth) is the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms. The word "genetics" was first suggested to describe the study of inheritance and the science of variation by the prominent British scientist William Bateson in a personal letter to Adam Sedgwick, dated April 18, 1905. Bateson first used the term "genetics" publicly at the Third International Conference on Plant Hybridization (London, England) in 1906.

Genetics (not to be confused with the UK publication, Journal of Genetics). is a monthly scientific journal publishing investigations bearing on heredity and variation. Genetics is published by the Genetics Society of America. As with many other journals published by scientific societies, it has a delayed-open access policy, and makes articles available online without a subscription after 3 months have elapsed since first publication.
