Opis

The first edition of Genomics and Clinical Medicine provided an overview of genomics-based advances in disease susceptibility, diagnosis, and prediction of treatment outcomes in various areas of medicine. Since its publication, the science of genomics has made tremendous progress, and exciting new developments in biotechnology and bioinformatics have created possibilities that were inconceivable only a few years ago. This completely revised second edition of Genomic Medicine reflects the rapidly changing face of applied and translational genomics in the medical and health context and provides a comprehensive coverage of principles of genetics and genomics relevant to the practice of medicine.

Recenzje

This is a pioneering work of two doctors who as editors, have undertaken a monumental project, compiling a lot of relatively new knowledge put on paper by a total 50 pioneers in genomic medicine. All the authors and Drs. Kumar and Eng are to be congratulated for this unique, massive contribution to better understanding of disease so that eventually, millions of people can benefit from their work, to lead healthier lives.
