Genetic predisposition is a characteristic that makes certain people more susceptible to a particular disorder or condition.

However, the impact of this characteristic can be managed through lifestyle choices. If a person with a genetic predisposition to alcoholism is raised in Saudi Arabia (in a culture where he has no access to alcohol) he would have no trigger, and this disorder would not become present.
