  Genetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word genetics was first suggested to describe the study of inheritance and the science of variation by the British scientist William Bateson in a personal letter to Adam Sedgwick, dated April 18, 1905.
The foundational discipline is population genetics which studies the distribution of and change in allele frequencies of genes under the influence of the four evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation and migration.
While molecular genetics studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level, ecological genetics focuses on wild populations of organisms, and attempts to collect data on the ecological aspects of individuals as well as molecular markers from those individuals.

 Scientists identify the gene for familial dysautonomia, a degenerative neurological disorder
In the March issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics, two groups report that mutations in the IKBKAP gene, encoding the protein IKAP, cause Familial Dysautonomia (FD).
The function of IKAP is not well understood, but the discovery that IKBKAP is involved in FD opens wide the doors for experimentation that will hopefully someday provide a cure.
