"Adopted at Cambridge University"
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.
