Genetic Diagnosis

Genetic diagnosis of cancer: diagnosis of mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 in breast cancer

During the last two decays the tremendous success in molecular biology and genetics which has surprised the entire world. So that today the sequencing of whole genome has been possible for each human individual to estimate its being affected with cardiovascular and cancer diseases. However, these achievements have some important limitations and deep ethical issues which might be ignored. Geneti...

O-27: Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis in Prevention of Genetic Diseases -Diagnostic of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

Background: Preimplantation genetic diagnosis - PGD is currently an established procedure allowing genetic research of oocyte or embryo before implantation to the uterus. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disorder, being the second most common lethal autosomal recessive disease in Caucasians, after cystic fibrosis. There are three clinically different types of which type I (W...

Optimal Path Diagnosis by Genetic Algorithm for NoCs

Nowadays Network-on-Chips is used instead of System-on-Chips for better performance. This paper presents a new algorithm to find a shorter path, and shows that genetic algorithm is a potential technique for solving routing problem for mesh topology in on-chip-network.
