Description

Our genetic constitution has a major influence on lifetime health. Identification of the genetic components involved in common diseases can lead to predictive tests of individual susceptibility and to novel treatments for the diseases when they have occurred. The analysis of the human genome is a formidable undertaking and has necessitated the development of new research methodologies and international collaborations between scientists on an unprecedented scale.Human Molecular Genetics provides an essential introduction to this complex and fast-moving field. The material covered has been carefully selected and structured to provide a concise overview for students taking modules within general biological, genetics and medical degrees.The book explains the special problems encountered in human genome analysis and describes the methodologies that have been developed to construct genetic and physical maps of the human genome. It describes the characterisation of genes responsible for single-gene disorders, the dissection of complex or multifactorial diseases, gene therapy and gene testing. The history, goals and progress of the Human Genome Project are considered along with the strategies that will be employed to complete the sequencing of the genome by the early years of the twenty-first century.
