      Yes, your genetics affect the way you are inside and out! We know that several internal things such as a blood pressure, heart rate and even bone size are influenced by genetics to an extent – you don’t need to have a specific disorder to see these differences, either – these differences exist naturally in the world, which is why we don’t all have the same height, for example.
