Medical Genetics is one of the oldest but fast-growing frontiers in medical sciences. Since the completion of the human genome sequencing in 2003, the genetic basis of diseases and traits has led to many novel discoveries in medicine. They have led us to the entry into futuristic areas of medicine like “personal medicine” that will bring about improved health, longevity, and quality of life. Genomic analysis of disease causing organisms has become almost essential to pursue with appropriate therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. A career in medical genetics will be rewarding as well as exciting.
