Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The current findings of the Human Genome Project have allowed scientists to identify the genes associated with certain hereditary diseases such as Huntington's chorea, cystic fibrosis, and muscular dystrophy. However, they have not yet mapped and understood all of the genes in the nucleus of a human cell, nor have they developed cures for many of the genetically inherited diseases. Additionally, not all inherited diseases can be traced to a single gene.
