Description
Essential Medical Genetics provides students, clinicians, counsellors and scientists
with the up-to-date information they need regarding the basic principles underlying
medical genetics. It also provides guidance on how to apply current knowledge
in clinical contexts, covering a wide variety of topics: from genome structure
and function to mutations, screening and risk assessment for inherited disorders.
This sixth edition has been substantially updated to include, for instance,
the latest information on the Human Genome Project as well as several new molecular
genetic and chromosome analysis techniques. In full colour throughout, it includes
a number of brand new features, including: a large number of self-assessment
questions; ‘Essentials’ chapter summaries; further reading suggestions;
and case study scenarios introducing clinical situations. An invaluable new
section gives illustrated practical advice regarding how to choose the best
available online genetic databases and also, importantly, how to most easily
and most efficiently use them, for a wide range of purposes.
Essential Medical Genetics is the perfect resource for a course on medical genetics, and is now accompanied by a regularly updated website and the FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition (upon purchase of the book).
The companion website at www.wiley.com/go/tobias features figures from the book in PowerPoint format and a link to the authors' website with regularly updated links to genetic databases and additional self-test questions.
New to this Edition
- A brand new section on electronic genetics databases, with an illustrated user's guide
