In the era of robust genome sequencing, a working understanding of genetics has become
important for the clinician. For the dermatologist, understanding the flow of genetic
information from genotype to phenotype can aid in the delivery of effective patient care. In
this article, we will review concepts in genetics and the human genome and how they
contribute to clinical dermatology.
