Next-generation sequencing technologies have fundamentally changed the study of human genetics. Thousands of disease genes have been catalogued since the completion of the draft human genome sequencing in 2001. Genetic testing has been widely adopted as a key diagnostic tool, particularly for developmental disorders and rare genetic diseases. Despite these critical advances, our knowledge of the relationship between genotype and phenotype remains incomplete. This is evident from the fact that clinical genetic testing provides a molecular diagnosis for just 25-30% of patients referred for it....

Growing our own Cardiac Vessels Most doctors use plastic grafts to replace damaged arteries and blood vessels in children’s hearts. The problem is that organic hearts grow over time and synthetic plastics do not. To solve this, Dr. Christopher Breuer and Dr. Toshiharu Shinoka developed the Tissue-Engineered Vascular Graft (TEVG). In this method, they insert cells from the patient’s bone marrow on a biodegradable scaffold and implant the seeded scaffold in the child....
