Novel Procedures for Diagnosis of Genetic Metabolic Disorders Owing to the progress of molecular genetics, various methodologies have been applied to routine works in Laboratory Medicine and contribute the discovery of new diseases and physicochemical analyses. It is very important to be up-to-date on new methodologies which may be useful in diagnosis of common diseases as well as genetic metabolic disorders. In this symposium, 5 well-known speakers introduced novel diagnostic methods, and presented novel data on physico-chemical aspects of amyloidosis, hereditary neuropathies, hemoglobin disorders, hereditary diabetes mellitus, and thalathemia based on molecular and biochemical approaches. *Department of Laboratory Medicine, Kumamoto University School of Medicine, Kumamoto 860-8556 |
