Popis: Exponential data quantity growth in the field of molecular genetics and genetic terminology growing list can easily confuse the doctor who doesn’t have special preparation. In this regard the article purpose was the attempt to fill missing knowledge of molecular genetics at practical doctors and also to show genetic testing achievements and practical importance in woman health assessment. The basic molecular genetics concepts (heredity and variability, genotype and phenotype, dominant and recessive genes, homozygote and heterozygote, monogenic and polygenic illnesses, etc.) are specified in the work. Genetic factors and their role in pathogenesis of such diseases as obesity, diabetes mellitus, oncologic diseases including actual for women breast and ovaries cancer, thrombophilia that have key value at pregnancy pathology, and osteoporosis which is especially dangerous for post-menopausal period women are presented. Introduction of molecular genetics methods in clinical practice opens new opportunities for medical services quality improvement and doctor effectiveness increase.
