Medical Genetics: An Integrated Approach – eBook PDF

A complete introductory textbook on how to include basic genetic principles into the practice of clinical medicine

Schaefer and Thompson’s Medical Genetics (ePub/PDF) is the first textbook to emphasize the everyday application of genetic assessment and its diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive consequences in clinical practice. It is aimed to be a text that you can use throughout medical school and refer back to when questions come up during residency and, eventually, practice. Medical Genetics: An Integrated Approach is penned as a narrative where each chapter builds upon the base laid by prior ones. Chapters can also be used as stand-alone learning aids for particular topics. Taken as a whole, this timely ebook delivers a complete summary of genetics in medicine. You will find detailed, expert coverage of such main topics as:

Mutations
Cytogenetics
Genetic therapies
Mendelian inheritance
Disorders of organelles
Genetic testing and screening
The structure and function of genes
Key genetic diseases, disorders, and syndromes

Every chapter of Medical Genetics is logically organized into three sections:
