医学遗传学是近年来发展较快的一门学科,它广泛涉及疾病发生的内因,也与免疫学、肿瘤学、病毒学、组织器官移植等现代医学重大问题息息相关。由于“四人帮”对基础理论研究的破坏和干扰,医学遗传学还未引起广大医务人员足够的重视。为此,我们特邀请刘祖洞同志撰写这篇普及性讲座,供同志们学习参考。 Medical genetics is a rapidly developing discipline in recent years. It is extensively involved in the internal causes of diseases and also closely linked with the major problems of modern medicine such as immunology, oncology, virology, and organ and organ transplantation. Due to the destruction and interference of the “gang of four” in the study of basic theories, medical genetics has not drawn sufficient attention from the general medical staff. For this reason, we specially invited Comrade Liu Zudong to write this popular lecture for our comrades to study for reference.
