Genetics in medicine

As per available reports about 150 journals, 182 Conferences, 50 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to genetic diseases and about 3,450 articles are being published on the current trends in genetic testing. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to genetic testing for diseases are being carried out. As reported in Journal of Anatomy & Physiology: Current Research article “Practical Genetics by Noha Lotfy Ibrahim* genetics testing in medicine involves “Prenatal tests which may be performed to the fetus may include ultrasound, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), aminocentesis and maternal serum α-fetoprotein. Screening for chromosomal abnormalities using the fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) is a challenge. This technique is highly performed in interpretation for birth defects and mental retardation, microdeletion/microduplication syndromes and chromosome enumeration and ploidy states. These tests will provide information to decide whether to continue the pregnancy if fetal impairment is detected”.

The Journal of Gene technology is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in genetics. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Gene Technology provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of genetics, genetic testing, susceptibility and pre disposition thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences (5th Cell and Gene Therapy Conference May 19-21, 2016, San Antonio, USA Cell and Gene Therapy Conference is to ameliorate the knowledge, awareness, and education on cell and gene therapy leading to the discovery of genetic and cellular therapies which aid to alleviate the human disease as it is the most significant emerging technology in the eyes of Medical, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals and Academia. Cell and Gene Therapy Conference 2016 is an excellent opportunity for the delegates from Universities and Institutes to interact with the world class Scientists).
