[Human genetics and clinical medicine].
Discoveries in biology and progress in medicine have been always exerting a certain influence upon the development of human genetics. The major impact of achievements in genetics on medicine is the design of genetic technologies that are widely introduced into the theoretical, clinical, and preventive sections of medicine. Genetic methodology brings up to date the main concepts of medicine, which is mostly based on current advances in genomics and human genetics acquires ever more a more molecular character. Genetic technologies prevent the influence of damaging environmental factors and the impact of changes occurring in the human demographic structure and gradually reduce the hereditary pathology burden accumulated in previous generations.
