Redefining disease

The New York Times published an interesting article today about the field of nosology, or disease classification. Scientists are redefining classifications of disease by examining the genetic underpinnings of disease.

The article is far from my area of knowledge or expertise, but it is interesting to read how knowledge about medicine and disease is constantly changing . You can find the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/06/health/research/06dise.html?ex=1367812800&en=b4a1fb3e0b65b4c2&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink.
