Basic Concepts In Medical Genetics

Rating:
Summary: Medical Genetics
Review: The book covers topics in a minimalist fashion and at an undergraduate level rather than the level expected for practitioners who will be expected to use and understand medical genetics and its impact on molecular medicine during their careers. No references are given for those who wish to explore in more detail. For people who wish to explore the "why" and "how" of medical genetics, other books are better. For the student who wishes to ensure a basic level of competency for USMLE Step 1, it's OK and reasonably priced.
