Progress in the molecular analysis of human genetic disease has been very rapid over the last three years since the first edition of this book was published. Most of the genes involved in the more common monogenic disorders have been identified and many of the rarer disorders have now been mapped to chromosomal regions. This thoroughly updated edition discusses these developments in detail. The techniques available for gene mapping have changed substantially thus facilitating isolation of disease genes from their chromosomal positions. Animal models are being created to allow the detailed study of disease processes. The second edition fully covers these advancements and should be a valuable reference for students, clinicians, and researchers in the biological sciences.

Human Molecular Genetics 2 Tom Strachan &amp; Andrew P. Read "truly a Rolls Royce amongst textbooks" — Molecular Medicine Today "the best text to introduce students and scientists to the molecular aspects of human genetics" — Trends in Genetics "a beautifully crafted book" — Journal of Medical Genetics "addresses the gap between introductory textbooks and the primary literature. There’s no other textbook quite like it." — Nature Now extensively rewritten and updated, HMG2 guides students and researchers through the very latest developments in the most rapidly changing area of life science. The highly regarded structure of the bestselling first edition is retained, but a wealth of new data and features have been added to aid understanding of the principles of human molecular genetics: 
<ul>
<li>new material on cell types and the cell cycle, signal transduction, DNA mutation repair, and comparative genomics and evolution</li> <li>new material on recent advances in the study of gene expression and function, including the use of DNA microarrays</li> <li>the latest Genome Project data including an assessment of the impact of complete genome sequences and new approaches in functional genomics</li> <li>expanded coverage of common disease susceptibility</li> <li>new section on how best to obtain the latest data from web-based resources</li> <li>a range of new figures, with many more in full color</li> <li>the early use of hierarchical figures and flow charts to introduce principles described fully in later chapters</li> <li>new two-column layout to improve clarity further</li> <li>references systematically updated</li> </ul> HMG2 is the book of choice for readers requiring an authoritative and integrated approach to human genetics.

Human Molecular Genetics, Textbook and Problems Set

Matthes, David

The application of new gene technology has made the study of inherited diseases at the molecular level one of today's fastest moving research areas. This textbook reviews the latest breakthroughs and concentrates on the different types of mutation and their analysis by both classical methods and the newest DNA mapping techniques. Students will find here the information they need to complement lecture courses.

Molecular Basis of Inherited Disease: In Focus (In Focus Series)

Medical Books

This book comprises the first volume of a series which reports the outcomes of the European Union Concerted Action Programme on Genetic Hearing Impairment. The aim is to bring together clinical geneticists and audiologists, as well as basic scientists and other clinicians with a general interest in this field, to standardise the audiological and terminological approaches and publish state of the art interdisciplinary studies.

Developments in Genetic Hearing Impairment

Stephens, Dafydd

Martini, Alessandro

Allied Health Professions

The aim of this book is to provide a description of what is currently known about the genetics of deafness for audiologists, otologists and general genetics. It includes a number of background chapters introducing relevant genetics for audiologists and otologists and relevant aspects of auditory intervention for geneticists. These cover the epidemiology of hearing loss and the current situation with regard to gene identification within the field. Chapters on the common syndromes, eg Ushers, Waardenburg, Pendred, Branchio-otorenal and Treacher Collins are followed by coverage of Dominant, Recessive and x-linked non-syndromal deafness, together with mitrochondial deafness. The final section includes chapters on the genetic, rehabilitative and surgical management of genetic disorders.
