Abstract
As we continue to localize, sequence, and characterize more and more genes and as we increase our understanding of the biologic function of the gene products—and the nature of the disruptions that mutations can cause—we will come closer to the goals of diagnosis, prevention, and therapy. Progress in the field is proceeding at a pace that no one could have envisioned a decade ago.Keywords
