Medical molecular genetics focuses on the relationship between disease and heredity. It studies the structure, function and mutation effect of genes at the molecular level, and explores the occurrence and development of genetic diseases, providing theoretical basis and technical means for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic diseases.
