Klappentext zu „Medical Genetics at a Glance “
The complex field of medical genetics is simplified in Medical Genetics at a Glance, with important scientific principles and clinical material broken into bite-sized chapters. This popular introduction and revision aid covers the core scientific principles relevant to an understanding of medical genetics and the clinical applications of this knowledge by discussing common genetic anomalies and their significance in clinical practice. This edition contains increased clinical relevance and features:Consideration of the latest practical and philosophical aspects of medical genetics
Full-colour illustrations to increase visual appeal
Self-assessment cases to make revision more rewarding and illustrate clinical applications of genetics
A popular and well structured approach to the molecular diagnostic techniques of modern genetics
An international author team based in the UK and USA
Medical Genetics at a Glance is an ideal introduction or concise, highly visual revision aid to genetics for medical students in the early years of their course, and for other students of molecular biology, genetics and genetic counselling. Zum Lernen und gezielten Wiederholen vor Prüfungen gleichermaßen geeignet, deckt der Text die wichtigsten wissenschaftlichen Prinzipien und klinischen Anwendungen ab. Häufige genetische Anomalien werden in dieser zweiten Auflage verstärkt hinsichtlich des klinischen Erscheinungsbildes und der praktischen Relevanz diskutiert.
