Things to note:

Rambles: compares what could be done in the past for a number of patients vs now

genetics can enhance the relibility of pedigree charts

risk calculated from pedigree if there is a woman at risk they are examined genes are targeted for sequenceing conclusions and action

how can you tell a mutations when you see one

where is it in the gene what does the sequence variation alter has it been observed prior

chromosomal micro array

exome sequencing
