7th Edition
by Reed E. Pyeritz (Editor), Bruce R. Korf (Editor), Wayne W. Grody (Editor)
For decades, Emery and Rimoin’s Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics
has served as the ultimate resource for clinicians integrating genetics
into medical practice. With detailed coverage in contributions from
over 250 of the world’s most trusted authorities in medical genetics and
a series of 11 volumes available for individual sale, the Seventh
Edition of this classic reference includes the latest information on
seminal topics such as prenatal diagnosis, genome and exome sequencing,
public health genetics, genetic counseling, and management and treatment
strategies to complete its coverage of this growing field for medical
students, residents, physicians, and researchers involved in the care of
patients with genetic conditions. This comprehensive yet practical
resource emphasizes theory and research fundamentals related to
applications of medical genetics across the full spectrum of inherited
disorders and applications to medicine more broadly.
Clinical Principles and Applications
thoroughly addresses general methods and approaches to genetic
counseling, genetic diagnostics, treatment pathways, and drug discovery.
Additionally, new and updated chapters explore the clinical
implementation of genomic technologies, analytics, and therapeutics,
with special attention paid to developing technologies, common
challenges, patient care, and ethical and legal aspects.
With regular advances in genomic technologies propelling precision medicine into the clinic, the seventh edition of Emery and Rimoin’s Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics bridges
the gap between high-level molecular genetics and practical application
and serves as an invaluable clinical tool for the health professionals
and researchers.
- Fully revised and up-to-date, this new
edition introduces genetic researchers, students, and health
professionals to general principles of genetic counseling, genetic and
genomic diagnostics, treatment pathways, drug discovery, and the
application of genomic technologies, analytics, and therapeutics in
clinical practice
- Examines key topics and developing areas
within clinical genomics, including genetic evaluation of patients,
clinical trials and drug discovery, genetic health records, cytogenetic
analysis, diagnostic molecular genetics, small molecule genetic
therapeutics, gene product replacement, clinical teratology,
transplantation genetics, and ethical and legal aspects of genomic
medicine
