Medical Genetics (Medical Genetics)

Summary: medical genetics
Review: I think the book is fine,but there ought to be detailed explanations about various genetical disorders in human genes.

Rating:
Summary: Medical Genetics
Review: This book is extremely limited in discussing how these genetic disorders manifest themselves clinically. I would not recommend this book for students who plan to apply their knowledge in the clinical setting. Explanations of certain genetic terms are not always clearly defined nor are certain biologic processes such as meiosis. Overall, a poorly written book for anyone but a graduate student of genetics.

Summary: An excellent preclinical book
Review: This book was intended to prepare medical students to understand the basic science principles that form the foundation of clinical genetics. It is not intended to be a clinical handbook. It does an excellent job showing how the clinical genetic diseases illustrate the scientific principles of genetics. I think that it is very well written, and forms a foundation to pursue more clinical studies.
