Genomic Medicine — A Primer

Abstract

This review article launches our series on genomic medicine. It provides definitions of terms commonly used in genetics, delineates the distinction between genetics and genomics, and supplies examples of the ways in which genetic information can be used in the day-to-day care of patients. The mechanisms leading to the availability of more than 100,000 proteins from only approximately 30,000 genes are described. The various common types of mutations are identified and defined, and modes of inheritance — from simple mendelian to complex to mitochondrial — are detailed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
