The first edition of Genomics and Clinical Medicine provided an
overview of genomics-based advances in disease susceptibility,
diagnosis, and prediction of treatment outcomes in various areas of
medicine. Since its publication, the science of genomics has made
tremendous progress, and exciting new developments in biotechnology
and bioinformatics have created possibilities that were
inconceivable only a few years ago. This completely revised second
edition of Genomic Medicine reflects the rapidly changing face of
applied and translational genomics in the medical and health
context and provides a comprehensive coverage of principles of
genetics and genomics relevant to the practice of medicine. The
first section lays foundation to the practice of genomic medicine.
New chapters in this section include bioinformatics, proteomics,
microbial genomics and genomic education. Detailed discussions of
genetic/genomic testing and screening and the ethical, legal, and
social issues (ELSI) crucially address genethics and genomethics in
the practice of Genomic Medicine. The second section includes
clinical practice oriented chapters highlighting genomic
applications (array comparative genomic hybridization, exome genome
sequencing and new generation generation sequencing) in clinical
diagnosis of congenital developmental malformations, Mendelian
genetic disorders, and complex cardiovascular, neuro-psychiatric,
ophthalmic, dermatologic, inflammatory and pediatric disorders.
Separate chapters discuss microbial genomics with emphasis on the
role of genomics in targeted antimicrobial therapy and development
of genomic class of new vaccines. New developments in gene/
cell-based somatic therapy, regenerative medicine and targeted
molecular therapy are discussed in respective chapters. All
chapters are thoroughly indexed and supported by a carefully
compiled glossary relevant to genetic and genomic medicine.
