Leading medical genetics scholar Moyra Smith reviews current and recent work in genetics and genomics to assess progress in understanding human variation and the pathogenesis of common and rare diseases in which genetics plays a role. Smith provides an exceptional overview of the most important biomedical progress arising from the greatly increased genetic information base generated by gene mapping and the sequencing of the complete Human Genome.

 

This book addresses into a wide spectrum of topics associated with human genetics and genomics, including:

  • Human origins; migrations and human population diversity gained though genomic analyses.
  • The complexities of psychiatric diseases that are influenced by genetics.
  • The pathogenesis of late-onset neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinsonism, and ALS.
