In the past 15 years, new "omics" technologies have made it possible to obtain high-resolution molecular snapshots of organisms, tissues, and even individual cells at various disease states and experimental conditions. It is hoped that these developments will usher in a new era of personalized medicine in which an individual's molecular measurements are used to diagnose disease, guide therapy, ...

Among a range of inherited skin disorders, some of markedly severe phenotypes have been widely considered as indications for prenatal diagnoses. Recent studies have achieved significant progress in understanding the molecular basis of these heritable skin discases. These include epidermolysis bullosa (EB). a group ef mechanobullous genodermatoses, ichthyosis, a heterogeneous condition of gcnera...
