This core genetics text supports medical students in their first or second year. Unique in its approach, Genetics teaches concepts by exploring disease entities within the context of the organ system in which they most frequently present. Coverage of the patient and family's point of view helps students understand and anticipate the major obstacles for those living with severe genetic conditions. Top 30 genetic conditions are profiled in a special section. Content has been carefully adapted from the successful German text for the English language audience.
This fourth edition of the best-selling textbook, Human Genetics and Genomics, clearly explains the key principles needed by medical and health sciences students, from the basis of molecular genetics, to clinical applications used in the ...
Thoroughly updated and restructured, this brand new edition uses both a classic didactic approach to teach basic genetic concepts and a problem-based approach to demonstrate the clinical applications of genetics in medical practice.
This volume is therefore an essential read for geneticists, epidemiologists, and all biomedical scientists and public health professionals dedicated to using genetic information to improve human health.
Describes modern developments in the field of genetics, discussing the mapping of the human genome, the genetic causes of afflictions, and genetic modification.
The book raises compelling issues concerning: - The role of genes in maintaining health and explaining sickness - Genetic testing, gene therapy, and genome editing - The common ancestry of all humanity and how we are affecting our future.
This book provides information about various aspects of human genetics in a brief, simple, comprehensive and yet interesting manner so as to sustain and drive the interest and enthusiasm of the reader.
