A state-of-the-art reference,
Genetic Mapping of Disease Genes presents a detailed account of the new methodical approaches to gene mapping. It provides completely up-to-date information and comprehensive coverage of research in this field, and includes contributions from the leading experts. The book gives a broad overview of the genetic mapping involved in inherited diseases and discusses the shortcomings of established mapping procedures.The book will be essential reading for all researchers and postgraduate research students in molecular genetics, clinical genetics, and molecular biology, but also those involved in ophthalmology, public health, medical statistics, and mathematics.
The volume covers:
- Introduction and History
- Linkage in Dominant Recessive and Oligogenic Disease
- Model Free (Non-Parametric) Methods
- Tools (for Gene Mapping)
- Applications
The rapid progress in the field of gene mapping over the last decade has advanced our understanding of the underlying causes of inherited disease.
This book, edited by leading figures in clinical genetics and pedigree anaiysis, presents a detailed account of new methodological approaches.
