"New Clinical Genetics" is a major new textbook for medical, biomedical and allied health students studying medical or clinical genetics. Written by world-renowned authors, the book provides a concise summary of post-genomic human genetics and shows how this knowledge can be applied to clinical practice. Uniquely, the book takes an integrated Case Study approach to the subject. The authors incorporate real-life case studies throughout the text and refer back to the appropriate case where relevant throughout the book. This approach is designed to prepare students for clinical genetics practice in the real world. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with over 150 colour clinical photographs and 200 full-colour figures. With a clear student-friendly layout and approach, the book has been designed to help students get to grips with the subject quickly and easily. The key pedagogical features include: Learning Points: Each chapter starts with an easy-to-read summary of the key learning points within each chapter. These realistically describe what the student should understand and be able to achieve on completing the chapter. The learning points specifically cover the curricula of the America and British Societies of Human Genetics; Case Studies: The book uses numerous real-life case studies throughout. These are made up of a series of clinical-oriented descriptions of a family and the reasons they sought genetic counselling. The cases are introduced in the relevant chapter and then reintroduced in subsequent chapters to demonstrate diagnosis and the management and treatment options available; Summary Boxes: Key techniques and important summaries are drawn out of the main body of the text and emphasised in easy-to-follow boxes. These are designed to help students remember vital aspects of the chapter, for example when revising. It also includes: Disease Boxes: Overviews of specific genetic diseases are introduced where relevant. These are generally illustrated and provide a summary of diagnosis, treatment and counselling procedures; and Self Assessment Questions: Each chapter finishes with a series of self-assessment questions to test the students' knowledge.
