This book is written specifically for primary care giving all the necessary background of the New genetics - molecular biology, genetic mechanisms, ethics - the current situation regarding the implementation of clinical genetics in primary care, the skills that GPs will need to practice genetic medicine and possible future models of care.
There are many books about genetics, but none have addressed the specific primary care aspects of genetics. This book addresses these and covers all the issues relevant to primary care. There is a user- friendly description of molecular biology terms and techniques which many GPs have no experience of, but which is increasingly relevant in the consulting room. Other aspects particularly relevant to primary care are covered, such as the skills needed by primary care workers to undertake genetic consultations together with discussions of models of care that will be helpful. The book covers in detail topics such as genetic mechanisms, ethics and the genetic tests available.
