AB Many  diseases  occur  as  a  result  of  defects  or  errors  in  the  genes  involved  in  producing  essential  enzymes  or  proteins  in  the  body.  The  genes  are  coded  in  deoxyribonucleic  acid  (DNA),  helical  double-stranded  molecules  folded  into  chromosomes  in  the  nucleus  of  cells.  The  Human  Genome  Project  was  created  several  years  ago  to  sequence  the  human  genome.  This  national  effort  has  generated  information  on  the  role  of  genetics  in  congenital  defects,  cancer,  disorders  involving  the  immune  system,  and  other  diseases  that  have  a  genetic  link.
