New Clinical Genetics, third edition - Softcover

 
In the few years since the previous edition technical progress, especially the widespread use of whole-genome technologies, has brought many advances in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of genetic disease. As a result, most chapters have been substantially rewritten and updated to reflect this. The unique structure and format remains the same, but significant new material has been added to cover:

&;the widespread use of next-generation sequencing as a routine diagnostic tool
&;the checking of a patient&;s whole exome for the cause of their problem
&;noninvasive prenatal diagnosis by next-generation sequencing of free fetal DNA in the maternal circulation
&;a new integrated treatment of epigenetics
&;mosaicism, &;RASopathies&; and disorders of the spliceosome are described in new Disease boxes
&;dysmorphology in more detail New Clinical Genetics continues to offer the most innovative case-based approach to modern genetics.

It is used worldwide as a textbook for medical students, but also as an essential guide to the field for genetic counselors, physician assistants, and clinical and nurse geneticists.

Reviews of earlier editions:
&;This book provides a wonderful case-based learning environment. There are also self-assessment questions. Students are not given model answers but are provided with guidance on how to work out the correct answers for themselves. Excellent!&;      Human Genetics
&;This book is a very valuable tool that will be used by future geneticists all over Europe and beyond, both as a teaching material and as a source of excellent knowledge.&;    European Journal of HumanGenetics
