          Kazazian determined the molecular basis of single-gene genetic disorders such as hemoglobinopathies and hemophilia and introduced prenatal diagnosis for such disorders.

          His group was the first to identify a disease-causing mutation resulting from jumping genes in humans.[5] After this discovery, he focused on basic research into LINE retrotransposition in humans and its implications for disease.[6]
