Elsevier Emery and Rimoin’s Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics: Neuropsychiatric, Neurological, and Neuromuscular Disorders

For decades, Emery and Rimoin’s Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomicshas served as the ultimate resource for clinicians integrating genetics into medical practice. With nearly 5,000 pages of detailed coverage, contributions from over 250 of the world’s most trusted authorities in medical genetics, and a series of 11 volumes available for individual sale, the Seventh Edition of this classic reference includes the latest information on seminal topics such as prenatal diagnosis, genome and exome sequencing, public health genetics, genetic counseling, and management and treatment strategies to complete its coverage of this growing field for medical students, residents, physicians, and researchers involved in the care of patients with genetic conditions. This comprehensive yet practical resource emphasizes theory and research fundamentals related to applications of medical genetics across the full spectrum of inherited disorders and applications to medicine more broadly. In this volume, leading international contributors examine the genetics of neuropsychiatric, neurological, and neuromuscular disorders, with emphasis on understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying these disorders, diagnostic approaches, and treatment methods that make use of current genomic technologies and translational studies. Here genetic researchers, students, and health professionals will find new and fully revised chapters on the molecular genetics of intellectual disability, dyslexia, autism, schizophrenia, addictive disorders, human epilepsy, sensory disorders, multiple sclerosis, tubular necrosis, and stroke among other conditions. With regular advances in genomic technologies propelling precision medicine into the clinic, Emery and Rimoin’s Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics: Seventh Edition bridges the gap between high-level molecular genetics and practical application and serves as an invaluable clinical tool for health professionals and researchers. Wholly revised and up-to-date, this volume thoroughly examines medical genetics as applied to mental and behavioral, neurological, and neuromuscular disorders, with emphasis on understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying these disorders, diagnostic approaches, and treatment methods that make use of current genomic technologies and translational studies Provides genetic researchers, students, and health professionals with new and updated chapters on the genetic basis of and treatment pathways for a range of disorders, including intellectual disability, dyslexia, autism, schizophrenia, addictive disorders, human epilepsy, sensory disorders, multiple sclerosis, tubular necrosis, and stroke among other conditions Includes color images supporting identification, concept illustration, and method processing Features contributions by leading international researchers and practitioners of medical genetics A robust companion website offers lecture slides, image banks, and links to outside resources and articles to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the field
