  1. Mutations in a number of genes have been shown to cause congenital skeletal disorders, often with defects in cartilage formation as the primary basis. Others predispose the individual towards skeletal diseases such as arthritis. The completed sequence of the human genome opens the door for rapid identification of additional genetic mutations associated with human diseases and disorders. Functional genomics and the characterization of molecular mechanisms bridging genotypes to phenotypes are our challenges to realize solutions for the prevention, detection, diagnosis and therapy of these diseases and disorders.
