Genetic Testing - Introduction

---

This section of Practical-Haemostasis.com is designed to introduce you to molecular genetics as it relates to the inherited bleeding disorders. It is not a primer on genetics - there are some excellent sites on the internet that will do that. The Web also contains a number of useful mutational databases and related to the genetics of the inherited bleeding disorders and we have included links to some of these.

These pages are divided into:

1. Pedigree and Bayesian analysis

2. Linkage analysis

3. Mutational analysis

 

Much of this is devoted to X-linked disorders but the principles are similar to autosomal disorders.
