Human genetics

a problem-based approach

Edición de la obra Human Genetics

Understanding molecular and clinical genetics is an essential aspect of modern medical education. Rapid advances in gene research and increasing knowledge of the genetic bases for common disease dictate that genetics will play an even larger role in the future of medical practice. Human Genetics: A Problem-Based Approach incorporates these vital aspects of genetic medicine within a framework of student-driven learning to emerge as the genetics textbook of the future. Human Genetics is the only book to combine text with problem-based tutorial exercises, case studies, and review questions. Each chapter focuses on a core concept of human genetics, illustrated by a corresponding clinical case that guides the reader through key principles addressed in the text. Throughout each chapter, topics from classic Mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, and quantitative genetics are introduced to provide a context in which the role of genes in disease can be readily understood. Thorough and accessible in both format and content, Human Genetics: A Problem-Based Approach, is an ideal text for medical students and a valuable reference for established practitioners.
