An Introduction to Human Molecular Genetics Second Edition Jack J. Pasternak The Second Edition of this internationally acclaimed text expands its coverage of the molecular genetics of inherited human diseases with the latest research findings and discoveries. Using a unique, systems-based approach, the text offers readers a thorough explanation of the gene discovery process and how defective genes are linked to inherited disease states in major organ and tissue systems. All the latest developments in functional genomics, proteomics, and microarray technology have been thoroughly incorporated into the text. The first part of the text introduces readers to the fundamentals of cytogenetics and Mendelian genetics. Next, techniques and strategies for gene manipulation, mapping, and isolation are examined. Readers will particularly appreciate the text's exceptionally thorough and clear explanation of genetic mapping. The final part features unique coverage of the molecular genetics of distinct biological systems, covering muscle, neurological, eye, cancer, and mitochondrial disorders. Throughout the text, helpful figures and diagrams illustrate and clarify complex material. Readers familiar with the first edition will recognize the text's same lucid and engaging style, and will find a wealth of new and expanded material that brings them fully up to date with a current understanding of the field, including: * New chapters on complex genetic disorders, genomic imprinting, and human population genetics * Expanded and fully revised section on clinical genetics, covering diagnostic testing, molecular screening, and various treatments This text is targeted at upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and medical students. It is also an excellent reference for researchers and physicians who need a clinically relevant reference for the molecular genetics of inherited human diseases.

With the explosion of new information from the Human Genome Project and new disease genes being identified at an extraordinary rate by laboratories around the world, the need for a scientifically sound a pedagogically refined text in Human Molecular Genetics has grown. This new text offers students and readers an extensive, up-to-date treatment of the genetic principles and fundamental molecular mechanisms that govern human inherited diseases. More than a catalogue of disease-related genes, this new text explains the interaction of genes and their products; the consequences of these mechanisms on disease states in major organ systems such as muscle, the nervous system, and the eye; and cancer and mitochondrial disorders. 
Praised by numerous reviewers for its timeliness and accuracy, An Introduction to Human Molecular Genetics is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate, early graduate and basic medical school courses in human genetics. The book's lucked style and compelling coverage make it essential reading for all those who seek a better understanding of the fast moving field of Human Molecular Genetics. <ul> <li>Engaging writing style and numerous illustrations making complex concepts accessible to all students. 
</li> <li>Chapter outlines, lists of key terms, extensive summaries of key concepts and review questions are provided for each chapter. 
</li> <li>Up-to-the-minute research and numerous references cited throughout. 
</li> <li>From the Human Genetics Files' sections in each chapter present historical and innovative applications and contributions of Human Molecular Genetics (like the use of DNA analysis to identify the remains of the Russian Imperial family). 
</li> <li>Full-colour insert illustrates the latest cytogenetic imaging techniques (FISH, SKY). 
</li> <li>The text will be complemented with a web site (starting 1/1/2000) that will provide new material divided into 'Updates' and 'Breakthroughs'.</li> </ul>
