title: Traffic jam: a compendium of human diseases that affect intracellular transport processes.
abstract: As sequencing of the human genome nears completion, the genes that cause many human diseases are being identified and functionally described. This has revealed that many human diseases are due to defects of intracellular trafficking. This 'Toolbox' catalogs and briefly describes these diseases.
