摘要
The world of molecular diagnostics is undergoing major change because of both technical advances and the availability of rapidly expanding genetic databases generated by the study of human genomics. These resources comprise an extraordinary opportunity to decipher the biological importance of genetic aberrations, and link our understanding with clinical utility. The challenge lies in sorting through the information and developing effective strategies to advance molecular diagnostics.
