Concept of Heredity in Ayurveda: A Comparative Study of Matruja and Pitruja Bhava with Modern X- and Y-Linked Genetic Disorders (“An Integrative Ayurvedic-Genetic Perspective”)

Ayurveda presents a sophisticated understanding of heredity through the concepts of Matruja and Pitruja Bhava, describing maternal and paternal contributions to the formation of the offspring. This comparative study explores these classical Ayurvedic principles alongside modern genetic concepts, particularly X- and Y-linked inheritance. By correlating Matruja Bhava with X-linked traits and Pitruja Bhava with Y-linked transmission, the study highlights conceptual parallels between ancient Ayurvedic thought and contemporary genetics. This integrative analysis aims to provide a holistic perspective on hereditary disorders, emphasizing the relevance of Ayurvedic insights in understanding genetic diseases within a modern biomedical framework
