DNA-based Gene Diagnostics

Attached below find a list of all available DNA based Gene Tests:
Th elist appears to be quite extensive. Some of these conditions in fact can be addressed or treated with the replacement of a single gene:
This information along with current clinical trials can also be found at the National Institute of Health Web site.

Currently Available DNA-Based Gene Tests
