Synopsis

This book provides a concise survey of the material in medical genetics that is essential for every physician. It takes a clinically oriented approach with an emphasis on the practical applications of genetic knowledge. The topics are organized in the same way as most standard medical genetics courses covering the nature of genetic material, chromosomal alterations, DNA diagnosis and the various aspects of clinical genetics. Topics that receive special attention include the clinical applications of molecular genetics, treatment of genetic disease, prenatal diagnosis and cancer genetics. In addition to the study questions at the end of each chapter, the book also includes clinical cases designed to summarize the material and demonstrate the practical applications of fundamental genetic principles.
