    Hans Eiberg contributed to the mapping of the human genome, and has succeeded in finding important genetic markers for several serious illnesses such as cystic fibrosis, Batten disease and various diseases of the eye. He has also shown that bedwetting is a hereditary disease rather than a psychological disturbance.
