THE REVOLUTION, WE HAVE ALMOST OVERSLEPT

Abstract

Human genome decoding and the development of relatively simple methods of sequencing made it possible to unveil genetic origin of various diseases, including cardiological. Canalopathies, cardiomyopathies, family forms of hyperlipidemia, pulmonary arterial hypertension — these diseases abroad are the indications for more profound genetic test. The article focuses on the indications for routine sequencing of new generation.
