Genetics count the most.
If you know that you are possibly going to have a problem because of your genetic inheritance you can take steps to keep those problems in check. For example if your parents were diabetic you have a better chance of developing the disease than a person who has no genetic inheritance even though they eat tones of sugar, but you can avoid refined carbohydrates and keep the problem from developing or at least under control.

Oh yeck yea its important. You need to know what you have a predeposition for. My daughters have to deal with allergies, diabetes, and heart disease on their Dad's side. I don't know for myself because I am adopted. The state of Indiana doesn't feel that I need to know that information.

Yes. But it might not matter as much, if you are aware and act accordingly. For instance, I have cancer and diabetes in my family. So I have to be careful not to encourage conditions which cause- or aggravate- these conditions.
