Scientists estimate that chromosomes in the human population differ at about 0.1%. Understanding these differences could lead to discovery of heritable diseases, as well as diseases and other traits that are common to man.
Information gained from the HGP has already fueled many positive discoveries in health care. Well-publicized successes include the cloning of genes responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, retinoblastoma, cystic fibrosis, and neurofibromatosis.
Increasingly detailed genomic maps have also aided researchers seeking genes associated with fragile X syndrome, types of inherited colon cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and familial breast cancer.
