Not all doctors would understand the statement "linkage is now established between a DNA marker and the locus for adult polycystic kidney disease at a recombination fraction of 5%". Yet over the next few years increasing numbers of DNA markers linked to single-gene disorders will become available and clinicians will need to identify patients who could benefit from this knowledge.
