Summary
  • "This new text offers students and readers a treatment of the genetic principles and fundamental molecular mechanisms that govern human inherited diseases. More than a catalogue of disease-related genes, this new text explains the interaction of genes and their products; the consequences of these mechanisms on disease states in major organ systems such as muscle, the nervous system, and the eye; and cancer and mitochondrial disorders.".
  • "An Introduction to Human Molecular Genetics is for advanced undergraduate, early graduate, and basic medical school courses in human genetics. The book's style and coverage make it suitable for all those who seek a better understanding of the fast moving field of Human Molecular Genetics."--BOOK JACKET.
