Abstract excerpt
Human genes responsible for inherited diseases are important for the understanding of human disease. We investigated the degree of polymorphism and divergence in the human disease genes to elucidate the effect of natural selection on human disease genes. In particular, the effect of disease dominance was incorporated into the analysis. Both dominant disease genes (DDG) and recessive disease genes (RDG) had a...
