Molecular biology applications in oral and maxillofacial surgery

G
enetic developments during the 20
th
century had a great
impact on our lives initiated by Mendel principles in
1900. Following the publication of the entire human genome
sequence on 2004 chromosomes now can be rapidly analyzed
very precisely by microarray techniques and next generation
sequencing providing the genetic studies useful for clinical
applications. Up to now the number of phenotypes with a
known molecular basis reached 5500 while the number of
genes with a phenotype causing mutation reached 3400.
Genetic is becoming significant to every medical field. Recent
discoveries have influences not only on rare genetic diseases
and syndromes but extend too many common human
disorders. The advancement of genetics refers back once the
structure of DNA was discovered in 1953 by James Watson
and Francis Crick, while nucleic acid was actually detected in
1849. Then in 1960s, the unraveling of the sequence of bases
in DNA and the sequence of amino acids in protein called
genetic code, was achieved with sophisticated techniques.
Molecular biology provided wide applications in different
areas such as genetically modified disease resistant crops,
therapeutic drugs produced by genetically engineered
animals and the advances to introduce vaccines that are
DNA-based. In this article, we are reviewing the general
application of molecular biology and its advances in the
field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
