Since the completion of the Human Genome Project 10 years ago, the world has witnessed an incredible progress in human genetics and genomics. This progress was largely driven by the availability of better, faster and cheaper sequencing technology. While it took more than 10 years and more than 1 billion dollars to complete the Human Genome Project, an individual in the year 2011 can have his whole genome sequenced within a week for less than $30,000. With cheaper and faster sequencing came a wealth of novel discoveries which makes it timely to review how these newly found insights into the human genome are relevant for perioperative medicine. This review summarizes the basics of genetic inheritance, the human genome and modern sequencing methods, as well as genetic variation and how this knowledge may be applied to patient care and research in the perioperative setting.
