Description
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.
