66 the diseases which are transferred from generation to generation. 1 set
67 evidence suggests that heredity can create a predisposition to mood disorders. environmental factors probably determine whether this predisposition is converted into an actual disorder. influence of genetic factors is stronger for bipolar disorders. 1 set
