Each of the initial chapters focuses on a traditional cornerstone of human genetics (molecular genetics, cytogenetics, Mendelian inheritance, polygenic inheritance, population genetics) with a major emphasis on clinical relevance. These are followed by consideration of subjects of specific medical importance such as the haemoglobinopathies, developmental genetics, cancer genetics and pharmacogenetics, with due attention to topical and evolving issues such as pharmacogenomics, gene therapy and therapeutic cloning. The final chapters provide an explanation of the genetically related clinical skills and competencies expected of a medical student, together with an overview of the principles of clinical genetics, a rapidly developing clinical specialty which now impinges on almost every aspect of medical practice.Online Resource CentreMedical Genetics is accompanied by an extensive Online Resource Centre, which offers a wealth of additional materials, including:DT Multiple Choice Questions and Extended Matching Questions, to help you test your knowledge of each chapter of the bookDT Hyperlinked bibliography offering direct links to online articles cited in the bookDT Case Celebres: additional case celebres to those in the bookDT OMIM Database Links, providing hyperlinks to the NIH's database of genetic diseasesDT Pedigree Examples, giving guidance on constructing family treesDT Bonus material from other seminal genetics titles published by Oxford University Press\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938038153504,"sku":"NEW0199594619","price":142.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51kSvS4RaDL.jpg?v=1783111619","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/medical-genetics-0199594619","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
