New Clinical Genetics features a unique integrated case-based approach which ties the science to real-life clinical scenarios to aid understanding. The 4th edition maintains this approach and is completely updated to reflect new science, new techniques and new ways of thinking in this fast-moving field.
Spider Goats, Genetic Modification, and the Will to Change Nature
How scientific advances in genetic modification will fundamentally change the natural world The process of manipulating the genetic material of one animal to include the DNA of another creates a new transgenic organism. Several animals, notably goats, mice, sheep, and cattle are now genetically modified in this way. In Our Transgenic Future, ......
Used primarily to decide to abort a fetus that would have been born with mental or physical impairments, prenatal tests arguably reinforce discrimination against and misconceptions about people with disabilities. This title presents a debate about prenatal testing and selective abortion.
A practical guide to cancer genomics and its application to cancer diagnosis and care. Each chapter provides explanations of concepts, terminology, and methods. Also included are tips for interpreting and analysing molecular data, and discussion of molecular predictors for targeted therapies covering haematologic malignancies and solid tumours.
MicroRNA research and development is the billion-dollar baby and most lucrative option for drug discovery in gene therapy industries worldwide. Personalized microRNA treatments are in many cases the only remedy for viral diseases that have no cure in conventional drugs and offer to bring us closer than ever to "personalized medicine." They also ......

Rhetorics of choice have dominated the biosocial discourses surrounding BRCA risk for decades, telling women at genetic risk for breast and ovarian cancers that they are free to choose how (and whether) to deal with their risk. Critics argue that women at genetic risk are, in fact, not free to choose but rather are forced to make particular ......
Rapidly changing research has led to numerous advances in genetic testing, diagnosis, and treatments. This quick reference delivers complex information in an easy-to-read, step-by-step format with bitesize info boxes and bulleted information to provide the tools necessary to understand genetics/genomics and identify "red flags" that can appear in ......
