Some human diseases are common in families; examples include prostate cancer, blood cancers, epilepsy and diabetes. Therefore, close relatives of individuals with a disease have an increased risk of being affected by this disease, implying a genetic basis. Finding the cause of these diseases is difficult, we will be developing novel approaches to the identification of genes responsible for these diseases. This is the first step towards the development of treatments for affected individuals.

一些人类疾病在家庭中很常见；例如前列腺癌、血癌、癫痫和糖尿病。因此，患有疾病的个人的近亲受到这种疾病影响的风险增加，这意味着遗传基础。很难找到这些疾病的原因，我们将开发新的方法来识别导致这些疾病的基因。这是朝着开发针对受影响个人的治疗方法迈出的第一步。
