| Abstract: | In the past 60 years the identification of the genetic basis of various diseases has steadily increased. Whilst great strides have been made in sequencing the whole human genome project, the identification of disease causing mutations especially for multi-factorial conditions is still in its infancy. On the other hand, in the majority of genetic disorders where the causative gene is known, molecular genetics tests are available with which to identify the causative mutations. |
