Abstract

There has been an amazing increase in our acquiring genetic information by means of the technological developments and the completion of the human genome project in a shorter time than expected. Within the light of this information, there has been a great change in approaching human health and diseases. Having developed rapidly within the last 20 years, the new genetic technology provides many opportunities of test for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Today it is known that there are 900 to 1000 genetic tests used in routine diagnosis. Clinicians should learn this new technology and approach in a very short period of time and use them for the benefit of their patients. Molecular Genetic Diagnosis and Clinical Applications in Medicine will be reviewed in this collection.
