A Message from R. Rodney Howell, MD, FACMG
Foundation President

 

The human genome, and the knowledge that will be derived from its sequencing, will improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease for the benefit of humankind. Vast resources of time, expertise, and funds have been invested not only in researching the science, but also the complex ethical, legal and social implications of this major step forward in our understanding of human health.

 

The challenge remains, and it is a significant one, to translate this enormous body of information into safe and effective treatments and tests. Join us in our endeavor to translate genes into health.
