Synopsis

"Emery's Elements of Medical Genetics" is a classic introduction to the subject that has remained popular over the past thirty five years through regular revision. Its success is also due to a three-part structure that takes the student through the basic principles of genetics, goes on to show how they can be applied to general medicine, and then describes genetics disorders and the practice of clinical genetics. Its succinct and direct text make it the perfect reference for a medical undergraduate or basic introduction to the subject for a science student. This twelfth edition has been rigorously updated, in particular in the areas of: molecular genetics, DNA technology and ethics. Clinical examples have been added throughout the text, a new self-testing section has been added and the clinical photographs updated and improved.

About this title

Review

"I loved this book. By dividing the text into three sections Emery's covers everything from the basic principles of genetics to clinical genetics. This book can be delved into throughout your training. The layout is spacious; the painful task of trawling through reems of dense text is avoided. In addition, summary boxes, a full glossary, and case-based and multiple choice questions, with answers, to text your understanding. What more could you ask for? This book, however, is a keep-sake for me, as a result of the graphic photographs of even the most rare of genetic disorders. A sure-fire way to ensure that you never forget the features of each condition! Now in its 13th edition, Turnpenny and Ellard, are well aware of the ever changing nature of this subject. Chapters are updated with recent developments, and a list of websites provided. This textbook deserves prime position on your bookshelf." Medical Student, University of Cambridge, UK BMA Book Awards 2008 - Highly commended "The level of detail is appropriate for its target audience and it's written in an easily understandable manner. The pictures and illustrations are good and well-set-out .. A very good textbook." "I loved this book.
