Emery and Rimoin's Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics (eBook)

For decades, Emery and Rimoin's Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics has served as the ultimate resource for clinicians integrating genetics and genomics into medical practice. With detailed coverage in contributions from more than 250 of the world's most trusted authorities in medical genetics and a series of 11 volumes available for individual sale, the seventh edition of this classic reference includes the latest information on seminal topics such as prenatal diagnosis, genome sequencing, public health genetics, and genetic counseling. Volumes 3-11 cover diagnosis, management, and treatment of both rare and common disorders in all organ systems. Students, medical providers, and researchers all benefit from the latest information about the role of the genome in health and disease. This comprehensive yet practical resource emphasizes theory and research fundamentals across the full spectrum of applications to medicine. In this volume, leading physicians and researchers thoroughly examine medical genetics and genomics as applied to endocrine, skin, connective tissue and skeletal disorders, with emphasis on understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying these conditions, diagnostic approaches, and treatment methods that make use of current genomic technologies and translational studies. With regular advances in genomic technologies propelling precision medicine into the clinic, Emery and Rimoin's Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics, seventh edition, bridges the gap between high-level molecular genetics and genomics and practical application and serves as an invaluable clinical tool for the health professionals and researchers. - Thoroughly introduces genetic researchers, students, and healthcare professionals to the genetic and genomic bases of endocrinologic, dermatologic, connective tissue, and skeletal disorders - Includes color images supporting identification, concept illustration, and method processing - Features contributions by leading international researchers and specialist medical practitioners
