Common Genetic Disorders: Every Clinician's Responsibility
Though we do not have prevalence data for most genetic disorders in India, sufficient prevalence data is available for at least some of the common genetic disorders such as beta thalassemia, Down syndrome and neural tube defects. The facilities for primary and secondary prevention of these common disorders are available in

More than one genetic affliction within the same family: Two case reports
Genetic disorders, though rare, are still responsible for 2-3% of babies having congenital or genetically-determined abnormalities at birth. Rarer still is the possibility of more than one genetic disorder afflicting the same family. In spite of that, such families do exist and it

Current strategies for mapping the genes for Mendelian traits
Mendelian traits or disorders refer to a group of phenotypes that exhibit one of the characteristic modes of inheritance: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and sex linked. These are also called 􀈆single gene disorders􀈇 or 􀈆monogenic traits􀈇 as it is usually a single gene that has a major effect on the phenotype. Though individually rare, as a group, there are more than 7,500 disorders

Next generation sequencing: window to a new era of molecular diagnostics
The advent of next generation sequencing has changed the scenario of diagnostic methodology. This new technique has been used in various areas ranging from the identification of new genes for single gene disorders, diseases with locus/ phenotypic heterogeneity, discovery of cancer causing genomic variations and understanding the pathogenicity
