Human Genetics: A Problem-Based Approach

Rating:
Summary: Great clinically-based format.
Review: Clear and compelling, each topic presented in a clincal setting

Rating:
Summary: A good supplement.
Review: This text would make a wonderful supplement to a more detailed molecular genetics text. The book's strength is that it uses a case-study approach, using specific disorders as models of genetic concepts. The weakness of the book is how it deals with biochemistry. I feel it assumes the reader has a pretty good prior understanding of everything from DNA structure and molecular dogma to molecular genetic analysis and lab technique. Overall, a very readable book.

Rating:
Summary: Good for medical doctor or students
Review: When I read this book, I was very excited the plot of it. Start with patient case, end with resonable explaination of genetic base of disease. I think it is highly recommandable to the doctors andmedical students who want to connect basic and clinical aspect of medical genetics.
