There is no question that the rapid advance in genetic technology is changing our viewpoint on medical practice, which is dramatically improving the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of human genetic disease. In particular, the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, such as exome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing, and gene editing ...

Genetics of human neural tube defects [PDF]
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are common, severe congenital malformations whose causation involves multiple genes and environmental factors. Although more than 200 genes are known to cause NTDs in mice, there has been rather limited progress in delineating ...

Throughout human history, large-scale migrations have facilitated the formation of populations with ancestry from multiple previously separated populations. This process leads to subsequent shuffling of genetic ancestry through recombination, producing variation in ancestry between populations, among individuals in a population, and along the genome ...

Mutation saturation for fitness effects at human CpG sites
Whole exome sequences have now been collected for millions of humans, with the related goals of identifying pathogenic mutations in patients and establishing reference repositories of data from unaffected individuals.

Genetics of human hydrocephalus [PDF]
Human hydrocephalus is a common medical condition that is characterized by abnormalities in the flow or resorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), resulting in ventricular dilatation. Human hydrocephalus can be classified into two clinical forms, congenital and acquired.
