Implications of the Human Genome Project for medical science.
The year 2000 marked both the start of the new millennium and the announcement that the vast majority of the human genome had been sequenced. Much work remains to understand how this "instruction book for human biology" carries out its multitudes of functions. But the consequences for the practice of medicine are likely to be profound. Genetic prediction of individual risks of disease and respo...
متن کاملOPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH Implications of the Human Genome Project for Medical Science
UNTIL RECENTLY, MANY PHYSIcians and other health care professionals considered medical genetics as the province of specialists in tertiary care medical centers, who spent their time evaluating unusual cases of mendelian disorders, birth defect syndromes, or chromosomal anomalies. Asked whether genetics was a part of their everyday practice, most primary care practitioners would say no. That is ...
متن کاملASHG human genome committee report. The human genome project: implications for human genetics.
The Human Genome Project will impact significantly on all branches ofhuman genetics, from the most basic research to the most practical clinical applications. The project also has social and legal implications that will impact mostly on human geneticists involved in patient care and genetic counseling. To assess this impact and to advise The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), the societ...
متن کاملThe human genome project and the future of medical practice
Contrary to the scepticism that characterised the planning stages of the human genome project, the technology and sequence data resulting from the project are set to revolutionise medical practice for good. The expected benefits include: enhanced discovery of disease genes, which will lead to improved knowledge on the genetic basis of diseases; availability of DNA-based diagnostic methods, whic...
متن کاملMedical genetics, the human genome project and public health.
I want to describe, in non-technical terms, what I believe the human genome project and modern genetics are. I will leave it to you to see where the ramifications of this presentation go. Because, although I will give you a few current examples, most of the returns from this new era in human genetics will be reaped in the future, not the present. Indeed, the challenge of connecting the genetics...
