Conflicting Data Complicate Search For Syndrome's Cause
Ricki Lewis | Jun 22, 1997 | 8 min read
The pace of discoveries of disease-causing genes is quickening as the Human Genome Project nears completion. Headlines frequently announce the detection of genes behind familiar ills, and what follows has become a routine: Several research groups race to map the gene, then clone and describe it, while biotech companies wait in the wings to turn the discovery into clinical tests. But gene searches for many very rare, inherited illnesses never make the news, nor are they all straightforward. Gene
