Laboratory Manual Fundamentals Of Biomedical Science Iv (Genetic Information)

There has been a growing recognition of the influence of genetic factors in human disease. The appreciation of the importance of inherited components of common diseases, congenital malformations, and cancer has increased substantially in recent years. At the same time, revolutionary developments have occurred in the basic science of genetics. Major efforts have focused on the application of molecular genetics to understanding heritable disease, and extraordinary progress has been made to use these advances in the practice of medicine. The approaches to diagnosis, genetic counseling, and screening of individuals at risk for genetic disease have been revolutionized by the application of molecular genetics.
