Abstract:
The recent advances in genetics have practical importance for patients with orthopedic problems. Specific genes are being isolated, mapped to chromosomes, and defined. Surgical specimens can be used for genetic studies to define specific genetic abnormalities. Making specific genetic diagnoses is important for appropriate care of the patient and the family.
