NCIt definition : NIH Emphasis Area -- In the realm of genetic medicine, the rapid progress of the Human
Genome Project, a growing understanding of the genomes of other species, and new methods
for the manipulation of genes are swiftly changing concepts of disease and possibilities
for its control. The real possibility of being able to identify the inherited mutations
that contribute to cancer risk, developmental abnormalities, immunodeficiencies, and
mental and neurological disease (such as epilepsy, stroke, autism, and sensory disorders)
deserve significant new effort.;
