Ecogenetics is the branch of genetics that studies how (inherited or acquired) genetic factors influence human susceptibility to environmental health risks. It studies the genetic basis of environmental toxicity to develop methods for the detection, prevention and control of environmentally-related disease. Ecogenetics interacts with ecology, molecular genetics, toxicology, public health medicine and environmental epidemiology.
