Emery's Elements of Medical Genetics 13e

Rigorously updated, succinct, straightforward and well-illustrated, "Emery's Elements of Medical Genetics" is the perfect resource to help you master the genetics you need to know! Generations of students have appreciated its unique balance of basic science, genetics as applied to medicine, and clinical genetics, making it a favourite among students and lecturers for over 30 years. "I loved this book. By dividing the text into three sections Emery's covers everything from the basic principles of genetics to clinical genetics. This book can be delved into throughout your training. The layout is spacious; the painful task of trawling through reems of dense text is avoided. In addition, summary boxes, a full glossary, and case-based and multiple choice questions, with answers, to text your understanding. What more could you ask for?
This book, however, is a keep-sake for me, as a result of the graphic photographs of even the most rare of genetic disorders. A sure-fire way to ensure that you never forget the features of each condition!
Now in its 13th edition, Turnpenny and Ellard, are well aware of the ever changing nature of this subject. Chapters are updated with recent developments, and a list of websites provided.
This textbook deserves prime position on your bookshelf."
