A primary goal of human genetics is to identify DNA sequence variants that influence biomedical traits, particularly those related to the onset and progression of human disease. Over the past 25 years, progress in realizing this objective has been transformed by advances in technology, foundational genomic resources and analytical tools, and by access to vast amounts of genotype and phenotype data. Genetic discoveries have substantially improved our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for many rare and common diseases and driven development of novel preventative and therapeutic strategies. Medical innovation will increasingly focus on delivering care tailored to individual patterns of genetic predisposition. This Review describes progress in the study of human genetics, in which rapid advances in technology, foundational genomic resources and analytical tools have contributed to the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for many rare and common diseases and to preventative and therapeutic strategies for many of these conditions.

人类疾病遗传学简史



人类遗传学的一个主要目标是识别影响生物医学特征的 DNA 序列变异,特别是那些与人类疾病的发生和进展相关的特征。在过去的 25 年里,技术、基础基因组资源和分析工具的进步以及大量基因型和表型数据的获取改变了实现这一目标的进展。基因发现极大地提高了我们对许多罕见和常见疾病的机制的理解,并推动了新型预防和治疗策略的发展。医疗创新将越来越注重提供针对个体遗传倾向模式的护理。这篇综述描述了人类遗传学研究的进展,其中技术、基础基因组资源和分析工具的快速进步有助于理解许多罕见和常见疾病的机制,以及许多这些疾病的预防和治疗策略。
