Medical Genetics at a Glance 

Medical Genetics at a Glance covers the core scientific
principles necessary for an understanding of medical genetics and
its clinical applications, while also considering the social
implications of genetic disorders.

This third edition has been fully updated to include the latest
developments in the field, covering the most common genetic
anomalies, their diagnosis and management, in clear, concise and
revision-friendly sections to complement any health science
course.

Medical Genetics at a Glance now has a completely revised
structure, to make its content even more accessible. Other features
include:

* Three new chapters on Gene Identification, The Biology
of Cancer, and Genomic Approaches to Cancer

* A much extended treatment of Biochemical
Genetics

* A completely revised chapter on The Cell Cycle,
explaining principles of biochemistry and genetics which are
fundamental to understanding cancer causation

* Two new chapters on Cardiac Developmental
Pathology

* An extended Case Studies section

Providing a broad understanding of one of the most rapidly
progressing topics in medicine, Medical Genetics at a Glance
is perfect for students of medicine, molecular biology, genetics
and genetic counselling, and is a previous winner of a BMA
Award.
