- AIDS/HIV: Can be transmitted through bodily fluids such as blood, semen, and l fluids, primarily thual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. It is caused by a virus.
- Asthma: Can be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as family history of asthma, allergies, and exposure to triggers.
- Cystic fibrosis: Is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene and is usually inherited from parents who carry the gene mutation.
- Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is believed to be caused by genetic factors, while type 2 diabetes can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
- Ebola: Is caused by infection with the Ebola virus and can be transmitted through direct contact with body fluids of infected individuals or contaminated objects.

- Influenza (flu): Is caused by infection with the influenza virus and can be transmitted through droplets from coughs and sneezes, as well as touching contaminated surfaces.
- Lung cancer: Can be caused by a combination of genetic factors and exposure to environmental factors such as smoking, radon gas, and air pollution.
- Sickle cell disease: Is an inherited genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene responsible for producing hemoglobin.
