We have made great progress in mapping the human genome. Genetic researchers are now learning more about how each gene works and what it does. They also study the role that variations in genes play in disease. Genetic researchers are working to identify the genetic and environmental causes of common illnesses such as asthma, arthritis and Alzheimer disease. The results of such studies will lead to many advances in disease prevention and treatment.
