Abstract
Completion of the Human Genome Project will soon result in the identification of more than tens of thousands of new genes. Insight into the function and complex interaction of these genes is of more than just academic interest. Indeed, an understanding of the molecular genetic underpinning of human disease will fundamentally change the practice of surgical pathology.
