"With the detailed genomic information that is now becoming available, we have a plethora of data that allows researchers to address questions in a variety of areas. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become a vital approach to identify candidate regions associated with…
This book reviews developments in molecular genetics, showing how they have been adopted in clinical practice. The authors simplify complex genetic concepts and focus on patient related issues. The aim is to help shorten the time from lab bench to bedside.
"Applied genomics and public health examines the interdisciplinary and growing area of how evidence-based genomic knowledge can be applied to public health, population health, healthcare, and health policies. This is the first book dedicated to the task of public health genomics…
"Anna is the daughter of Americans working in Cairo. But she feels more at home with the humble family of her friend Layla, who lives in the doorman's shack adjacent to Anna's apartment building. As the women grow up, their unlikely friendship is put to the test as they each fac…

"Provides basic consumer health information about disorders caused by gene and chromosome abnormalities and those with genetic and environmental components, along with facts about genetic testing and treatment research, and guidance for parents of children with special needs. In…
Surgeons need to know about genetics and how it interacts with modern surgical practice. Inherited diseases contribute to a substantial proportion of the surgical workload. Recognition of a positive history of disease in a family will allow genetic testing and precise diagnosis,…
