III.Diagnosis a.  The act or process of identifying or determining the nature and cause of a disease or injury through evaluation of patient history, examination, and review of laboratory data. b. The opinion derived from such an evaluation. c. Classic diagnostics: enzyme assay, EIA, Histology assay, microscopic,  d. Molecular assays: PCR, array, Sequencing, Blotting etc IV.Etiology a.  The branch of medicine that deals with the causes or origins of disease. b.  Etiology is the study of causation, or origination. “giving a reason for”. c.   Describe  clearly the structural or number abnormality of chromosome, the base/sequence number  d.  Example: a three base-pair deletion in exon 10 of the CFTR gene results in the omission of phenylalanine at position 508 in the 1480 amino acid chain., Example 2: sickle cell anemia HbS/HbSS, a single nucleotide change from A to T in the globin gene B gene in chromosomal 11 etc.)  V.Management and prognosis a. Treatment: drug, surgery, genetic consoling, follow-up etc. b. A prediction of the course or outcome of a disease or disorderb. The chances of recovery from a disease IV. Etiology a. The branch of medicine that deals with the causes or origins of disease. 4 b. Etiology is the study of causation, or origination. “giving a reason for”. c.
