Human Genetics

Description: Human Genetics 2e begins by describing basic human genetics, introduces the variety of techniques available for disease diagnosis and details how these are used in the lab, before concluding with information on prenatal diagnosis, genetic counselling and ethical considerations. As such, the book is the ideal handbook for biomedical science students and for anyone working in a diagnostic genetics lab. This second edition has been comprehensively rewritten to take into account the major changes in recent years, particularly with regard to human molecular genetics:

• greater coverage of recently identified genes and their role in disease
• updated to include an expanded section on breast cancer
• expanded description of epigenetics including methylation and acetylation
• updated to include all the latest diagnostic tools: QF-PCR, MLPA, RT-PCR, microarrays, etc.
• more on the impact of genetics on society; ethics and dilemmas
• full colour photographs have been included to allow readers to see real laboratory results If you need to know the difference between SNPs and CNVs, when to use QF-PCR or microarrays, or wondered which screening method to use for mutation detection, then you need to read this book. Reviews: 'This revised edition of Human Genetics covers an impressive variety of topics within the field, and would certainly be suitable for an audience ranging from basic science undergraduates to people working within genetics in the medical profession...The material in this book is clearly laid out, and provides a comprehensive overview of the subject. The explicit list of learning objectives at the start of each chapter will be valued by students and teachers alike, and the explanatory sentence or two after each one provides a quick reference to the key take-hom
