The genetics of human obesity [PDF]
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2005 Obesity is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries, and is also becoming increasingly prevalent in the developing world. Although environmental factors are important, there is considerable evidence that genes also have a significant role in its pathogenesis.

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1986
Study of hereditary cancer in humans has revealed new mechanisms in carcinogenesis. In particular, a new class of cancer gene, recessive in oncogenesis, accounts for dominantly transmitted predisposition to some cancers, and may play a primary role in the nonhereditary forms of most cancers.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1992
The introduction of new technology and increased effort from around the world is driving the completion of the human gene map. In parallel with the creation of the map, we are beginning to see the biomedical benefits that are a direct consequence of learning more about our own genome.

The Genetics of Human Longevity
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006Abstract: Aging is due to a complex interaction of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors, but a strong genetic component appears to have an impact on survival to extreme ages. In order to identify “longevity genes” in humans, different strategies are now available.

Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2007 Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is a condition characterized by absence of sexual maturation in the setting of low sex steroids and low/normal gonadotropins. Despite its rarity, considerable genetic heterogeneity and phenotypic variability exists in this disorder.

Human genetics of osteoporosis
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2008A family history of hip fracture carries a twofold increased risk of fracture among descendants. Genetic factors indeed play a major role in the determination of bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis risk. Multiple chromosomal loci have been mapped by linkage approaches which potentially carry hundreds of genes involved in the determination of ...

, 2002 The field of genetics continues to evolve at a rapid pace. The completion of the Human Genome project coupled with advancing scientific techniques has led to the explosion of genetic information and testing capabilities ranging from rare genetic conditions to common and sometimes preventable conditions.

Theories and studies in human genetics have a long history. Observations on the inheritance of physical traits in humans can even be found in ancient Greek literature. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries observations were published on the inheritance of numerous diseases, including empirical rules on modes of inheritance.

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, 1995
This overview for the special issue of Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis devoted to recent advances in human genetics relevant to mutagenesis briefly surveys the advances in the field. We present the evidence that trinucleotide repeat expansion can cause anticipation in human inherited disease.
