Genetics in Special Education Series

DNA Image 02

Many human diseases have a genetic component. Some of these conditions are under investigation by researchers at or associated with the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).

Sometimes, physicians are unable to put a name to a genetic condition. When this happens, physicians will say that a child or an adult has an undiagnosed rare or genetic condition.

The Genetics in Special Education Series is e-publication that provide information about selected genetic, orphan and rare diseases. Each month NASET will present 2 such disorders in this series. We hope you find them informative.
