摘要
There are more than 2,000 monogenic syndromes in man. Each syndrome has a specific combination of phenotypic features, and each differs from other syndromes by only one or a few of those features. Could the ordering of phenotypes into syndrome families tell us about the relationships of the underlying genes? If so, such phenotype relationships could be systematically exploited to find new disease genes and provide clues to gene interactions, pathways and functions.
