X, XYY and 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome are all rare diseases fixed to specific genetic mutations. However these and many other genetic conditions are often so variable in their presentation that no clinician could diagnose them. For decades they attracted little
interest outside of human genetics. Today, by contrast, huge amounts of resources and attention are dedicated to these disorders with the goal of improving health outcomes and unlocking the genetic basis of more common conditions like autism. What accounts
for this shift? This talk will draw on fieldwork and comparative-historical methods to explain how novel alliances of patients, advocates, and biomedical experts have been formed around genetic mutations. In this way, I show how knowledge about our genomes
can create powerful new categories for understanding and acting on human difference.</font></span></div>
