On this page are listed some articles on investigation of genetic causes for various manifestations. All references listed are intended for physicians who see patients investigating genetic diseases. Research flowcharts should be evaluated with caution, as the prevalence of certain genetic conditions can be significantly different in the population for which the flowchart was proposed. Some of the references are restricted to subscribers or for whom institutional access.
