Genetics and genomic medicine in Argentina

Javier Cotignola et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med. 2019 Apr.

Abstract

In this letter, we want to add information to the paper "Genetics and genomic medicine in Argentina" that we considered it was lacking. Argentina is a big country with inequalities in the access to public health care, especially in medical genetics and genomics.

Keywords: argentina; diagnosis; genetics; genomics.
