Tämä Terveyskylän osio toimii virtuaalisena ”talona”, joka on omistettu genetiikalle ja harvinaisille sairauksille. Se tarjoaa selkeitä selityksiä periytymisen mekanismeista, geneettisistä mutaatioista ja erilaisista periytymistavoista (dominantti, resessiivinen, X-kytkeytynyt, monitekijäinen). Lisäksi se yhdistää potilaat, perheet ja terveydenhuollon ammattilaiset asiantuntijatietoon, vertaistukeen ja kliinisiin resursseihin, jotka auttavat ymmärtämään, diagnosoimaan ja hoitamaan harvinaisia perinnöllisiä sairauksia eri elämänvaiheissa Suomessa.
