Which diseases can be treated by gene detection

Genetic testing is the molecular level of different diseases, and to give patients and easy patients better earlier diagnosis, treatment and prevention. So, what can genetic diagnosis disease?

Zhejiang University-genetic and genomic medicine Center Director, has long been engaged in the study of the genetic diagnosis doctor Qi Ming describes living in America, you can make the genetic testing of diseases related to behavior disorders, cancer, connective tissue diseases, endocrine diseases, diseases of the genitourinary system, immune system disorders and diseases, as well as growth and blood, teeth and eyes, stomach, heart, liver, and other related diseases, such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer, cardiac abnormalities, autism, family of myeloma, hemophilia, cancer, prostate cancer, cataracts, youth blood disease, and so on.

At present, Europe and the developed countries to carry out genetic diagnosis of various diseases has up to 1200 variety, but in the Asian-African countries, particularly China, this area of research and clinical services also relatively backward, "theoretically, we can also carry out on thousands of genetic diagnosis of the disease, but now money, manpower, equipment, reagents, and so is limitation exists. ”

The "human genome knowledge and technology in medical practice, very professional. "Qi Ming pointed out that the urgent need for the establishment of medical genetics expert leadership, in line with international standards of gene diagnostics Center platform to catch up with the world advanced level.
