- Summary:
- Complex concepts made manageable! Confidently tackle the basics of genetic inheritance, the influence of somatic and germline mutations, the multifactorial relationship of gene-environment interactions, and the foundation of ethical behavior. Everyday language makes these often-intimidating topics easy to understand, while clearly defined principles, logical explanations, illustrations, tables, and clinical examples ensure you master the material. Prepare for the real world... Learn how to perform beginning genetic assessments, including the development of a three-generation pedigree for identification of genetic risks. Recognize the genetic factors that influence the most common health problems. Explore disorders across the life span. Access online resources to reinforce and assess your learning. Hone your critical-thinking skills with case studies in every chapter. Book jacket.
