The human genome project has ignited considerable excitement about the future of medicine by revealing insights into diseases that seemed impossible to unravel only a few years ago. But knowledge of genes and proteins cannot by itself explain clinical phenomena — for this, molecular genetics requires the context of pathophysiology. The puzzling ways in which diseases manifest themselves in individual patients serve as a reminder that using genomics to improve clinical medicine will not be easy.
