The article summarizes discoveries and review the implications of newly acquired knowledge on genomics for medical practice and public health as of November 2010. It explains the mutations involved in Mendelian disorders such as cystic fibrosis and familial forms of type 2 diabetes, colon cancer and breast cancer. It references findings of several research studies on the genetic basis of complex diseases. Other topics discussed include the possible effects of genome-wide association on healthcare, the use of genetics as predictors of risk of common disease and whether genetics can improve understanding of the non-genetic causes of diseases. INSETS: SOURCES AND SELECTION CRITERIA;Recently identified genetic variants associated with disease;ADDITIONAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES.
