The Human Genome Project is also vital to medicine. A number of human diseases have been traced to genetic defects, whose positions within the human genome have been identified. Among these are... 

The promise of being able to predict and modify the genetic characteristics of an organism fuelled massive efforts to determine the base sequences of human genes. The human genome project has now reached the goal of sequencing all the important DNA carried by humans.

It will only be by fully combining these clinical and genetic aspects that we will be able to begin delivering the real aims of the human genome project more effective medicines and treatments for the most common diseases. 

The number of genetic diseases for which the actual gene responsible has been identified and studied are relatively modest, although completion of the human genome project should rapidly accelerate identification of such genes.
