Abstract
Detecting disease carrying mutations in families with a history of a particular hereditary genetic disease offers those individuals who test positive the opportunity to take prophylactic measures. In a TechView, Yan, Kinzler and Vogelstein discuss the various methods for detecting disease mutations and their strengths and weaknesses.Keywords
