Human Genetics: A Problem-Based Approach

By Bruce R. Korf

Book Overview

Human Genetics, the first genetics book to combine text with problem-based tutorial exercises, is the ideal textbook for student-driven learning. Each chapter focuses on a core concept of human genetics, illustrated by a corresponding clinical case that guides the reader through key principles in the text. Material from classic Mendelain genetics, molecular genetics, and quantitative genetics provides a context in which the role of genes in disease can be readily understood. Additionally, 300 illustrations clarify and reinforce discussions of genetic disorders. And, questions at the end of each chapter facilitate self-assessment.

Customer Reviews

Book is an easy read but I found several mistakes.

Book is an easy read but I found several mistakes, so be aware of that.

Great clinically-based format.

Clear and compelling, each topic presented in a clincal setting

Good for medical doctor or students

When I read this book, I was very excited the plot of it. Start with patient case, end with resonable explaination of genetic base of disease. I think it is highly recommandable to the doctors andmedical students who want to connect basic and clinical aspect of medical genetics.
