title: Genetic disease in South Africa. A molecular approach.
abstract: The Department of Human Genetics, University of Cape Town, has accumulated data on more than 11,000 individuals with inherited disorders seen over the last 15 years. Clinical and radiographic data on these persons and their families have been documented and where appropriate they have been investigated in our genetic laboratories. In accordance with current trends, a molecular genetic laboratory has been developed. The approach to South African genetic disease using recombinant DNA techniques is described.
