Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 genetic 1: tending to occur among members of a family usually by heredity; " an inherited disease " ; " familial traits " ; " genetically transmitted features " [syn: familial, hereditary, inherited, transmitted, transmissible] 2: of or relating to or produced by or being a gene; " genic combinations " ; " genetic code " [syn: genic] 3: of or relating to the science of genetics; " genetic research " Not all " genetic " research on fibroids is that which is related to familial heredity. In fact, a great deal of the research on this these days is focussing on the alteration/mutation process and how/why/when it occurs and what elements are influential in the regression or development of fibroids. Also, with nearly 80% of ALL women walking around with fibroids (whether they know it or not), the question becomes " Who does NOT develop fibroids? " And, why not? Haven't seen the epidemiological study which addresses this though...it would take a helluva lot of screening of women to find those not walking around with fibroids...
