Genetics of Common Diseases: Future Therapeutic and Diagnostic Possibilities Ian Day (University of Southampton, England, UK)

Many common diseases are partly attributable to the genes which an individual inherits. Early steps have now been made in developing ways to determine which genetic variations are important, with some recent successes. In parallel, ways to improve healt
