Stroke is a cerebrovascular syndrome that involves the blockage and bursting of blood vessels in the brain. It shows a multifactorial pattern of inheritance. High cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, hypertension and obesity are the key causes of stroke besides inherited genes.

Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder of bone development that prevents bone changes in cartilage (especially in the long bones of the hands and feet). It is characterized by the limited range of motion at the elbows, dwarfism, small fingers, large head size, and normal intelligence. Achondroplasia is caused by a change in the FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) gene and occurs as a result of a spontaneous genetic mutation in around 80% of patients, with the remaining 20% inherited from parents. Individuals with achondroplasia have short stature. The average height in men is 4 feet 4 inches and in women is 4 feet 1 inch. Achondroplasia treatment may include medications with growth hormone and surgery to correct an abnormal curvature of the spine (or bone problems), as to reduce the pressure inside the brain in cases of hydrocephaly. Achondroplasia is known to affect 1 in 15,000 to 40,000 newborns. The average adult height of those affected ranges from 4 feet to 4.4 feet. In the United States, around 10,000 individuals are living with achondroplasia, of equal frequency in men and women and across all racial and ethnic groups, making it the most common skeletal dysplasia.

For so many years, medical science professionals have been focused on developing cost-effective and efficient methods of treatment and diagnosis. Genomics refers to the study of genetics, which covers how a single gene affects a particular disease to the entire genome. It is also an interdisciplinary field of research focusing on the genetic architecture, function, sequencing, mapping, and editing of human genomes. A human genome consists of all the genetic information that makes up a particular individual, which has resulted in many important advances in medicine and in helping scientists understand the genetic makeup of the human body and the environment in which the cells grow and multiply. One of the most significant advances in the field was the discovery of the Human Genome Diversity Project (GHD), which revealed that all people have varying degrees of genetic variation within their genomes. Moreover, the Human Genome Project also resulted in the first genome maps and maps that can help researchers determine where specific mutations have been inherited.

Aplastic Anemia is a rare but serious disease of the blood cells. It is diagnosed by the inability of the bone marrow to synthesize RBCs, WBCs and platelets. The spongy bone marrow contains stem cells that are actively involved in Hematopoiesis.
