The intensive study of natural mutations encountered by physicians during their practice of medicine has contributed substantially to the development of the basic biological and medical sciences in this current century. Thus, the gene-enzyme relationship was deduced in 1908 by the British physician, Archibald Garrod, from detailed studies of patients with alcaptonuria,’ a full 30 years before the more detailed development of this concept by microbiologists’ and a full 50 years before the validity of his hypothesis of this disease was verified by actual enzyme measurements.’ Development of our understanding of the various components of the immune system has likewise resulted, to a considerable extent, from survival of patients with hereditary immunodeficiency diseases after antibiotics became available and use of these natural mutations as a dissecting probe for unraveling the complex interrelations of the immune response. The surge of progress in human genetics of the past three decades has repeatedly shown the remarkable insight into biological processes that can be provided by a genetically based clinical disorder, once we have identified the abnormal gene product. The recognition transforms curious or even tragic clinical problems that are quite beyond our capacity to understand or to treat into fascinating “experiments of nature” which, with proper study, are capable of revealing a rational sequence by which the abnormal gene product gives rise to the clinical expression and disease. In the process of gaining this understanding we quite often can obtain a truly remarkable expansion in our understanding of important underlying biological processes that permit us to devise, in some cases, new modes of therapy and prevention through a rational intervention in the sequence of events leading to the pathology of the disease.
