Abstract:
There is exciting research occurring the field of genetics and this article provides a summary of a few of the areas under active study, including chromosomal microarray, net-generation sequencing, and concepts of epigenetics. It is clear we do not have all the answers yet, but it is exciting to see what the future holds for our ability to diagnose and understand the causes of genetic disease. However, this is still not likely to be the end of the story, in that as we continue to study the human genome, we will continue to discover genetic influences on human health and disease.
