SynopsisMedical Genetics for the Modern Clinician is a concise, clinically oriented introductory genetics text for medical and allied health students, residents, and clinicians. The book focuses sharply on concepts that are most applicable to clinical practice. Ethics sections in each chapter discuss ethical issues facing today's practitioner, such as counseling, risk assessment, and testing. More than 120 illustrations help students visualize concepts. Each chapter ends with USMLE-style review questions. Appendices include a glossary and a Table of Genes that lists all genes covered in the text by chapter. Faculty resources, case studies, and downloadable full-color images will be available on connection.LWW.com/go/westman., Writing for medical students in their first and second years of study, Westman (medicine, Ohio State U.) provides the basics of genetics in the practice of medicine. She describes the shift from genetics to genomics and the role of genetics in preventative medicine and the resulting ethical questions. She reviews DNA structure, function, and replic
