Presents a Symposium on
Exploring the Genetic Basis of
Human Disease
on Saturday,
March 30, 2002
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Biophysical Science Building
ROOM 1415

Symposium Description
The study of human genetic disease is all encompassing and includes everything
from the clinical features of disease to gene identification and gene function.
Understanding gene function leads us to the pathophysiology of the disease,
which then reveals the underlying cause of the clinical features of the disorder.
The identification of human disease genes is only one of the first steps toward
understanding the genetic and biochemical basis of human disease. This symposium
will attempt to explore human genetic disease from clinical aspects to newer
technologies that are facilitating gene identification to model systems that
are providing insight into the pathophysiology of human disease.
Poster Session
Program participants who wish to present a research poster (4’
x 4’) are invited to do so. Please e-mail a poster title to the Genetics
Program Office (genetics@msu.edu) no later than March 15, 2002. Graduate students
from the Genetics Program at MSU are particularly encouraged to present their
work.
