Abstract

Advances in the fields of molecular medicine and genetic engineering have found applications in clinical practice in the form of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic disorders. Genetic disorders can be broadly classified into three categories: Chromosomal disorders, Single gene disorders and multifactorial disorders. During evaluation of a suspected genetic disorder, apart from hematological, biochemical and radiological investigations we have to use some specialized investigations. In this second part of this review article we are describing various molecular genetic methods used for the diagnosis.
