This book provides a comprehensive overview of genetics and genomics in medicine, focusing on genome-phenome correlation, genomics, variability, and ethical issues.

Genetics and Genomics in Medicine

Modern genetics plays a crucial role in personalized medicine, cancer diagnosis, and extending active longevity, necessitating integration into higher medical education.

THE ROLE OF GENETICS IN MODERN MEDICINE

Medical genetics has become a driving force in medical research and is poised for integration into medical practice, with three main categories: monogenic, chromosomal, and common multifactorial disorders.

Genetics in medical practice

Medical genetics and medical geneticists play a crucial role in genomic medicine, providing essential information for understanding and treating genetic diseases in the 21st century.

This edition of Genetics in Medicine effectively introduces medical students to the principles, language, and methods of human genetics, while highlighting its actual and potential medical significance.

Genetics in Medicine

Genetic variations and environmental factors contribute to various human diseases, and understanding these factors can help provide appropriate diagnosis, management, and therapy for patients.

The genetic basis of disease

Genetics influences health through the study of biological inheritance and its impact on health and disease, but environmental factors also play a significant role in susceptibility to disease.

Genetics, health and medicine

Genetic tests provide statistical risk information, but their clinical usefulness should be evaluated to prevent inappropriate medicalisation and overestimation of their value.

Genetics and medicalisation

Genetics and genomic medicine are revolutionizing healthcare, transforming diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment, requiring a deeper understanding of these fields for effective healthcare delivery.
