General description
This book has been the world′s most trusted genetics text for more than 30 years. With balanced, integrated reporting on both the basic science and clinical implications of genetics, the content has been thoroughly updated for this edition to keep abreast of this fast-changing subject. There is new coverage of hot topics such as gene therapy, the human genome project and ethical issues in medical genetics, while a brand new illustration program has been specially designed to further help students to understand concepts and retain information.
