  3. Birth defects are the leading cause of death among infants (0-364 days old).

  4. Eight percent of people who reach age 25 will be diagnosed with a disorder that has a major genetic component.

  5. We are genetic load of human system.

  6. Single gene disorders account for 3.6/1000 (.36%) autosomal dominant 1.4/1000 (.14%) autosomal recessive 1.7/1000 (.17%) X-linked recessive 0.5/1000 (.05%) Chromosome abnormalities account for 1.8/1000 (.18%) Multifactorial disorders are believed to account for 46.4/1000 (4.64%) Genetic unknown=0.12% Congenital anomalies with a genetic etiology = 2.66% (all congenital anomalies = 5.25%) http://thedoctorwillseeyounow.com/articles/other/genome_4/index.shtml

  7. In 1994, President Clinton signed the DNA Identification Act.

  8. Model of Alzheimer's beta amyloid precursor protein http://www.cabm.rutgers.edu/lab_descriptions/cabmdes_sanderson.html
