The genetic revolution has profoundly impacted not only medicine and biology but also social, economic, and cultural disciplines such as psychology, law, archaeology, paleontology, sensor technology, bioinformatics, statistics, and bioeconomics. Therefore, scholars in these fields need to integrate fundamental knowledge of human and medical genetics into their curricula.This book is aimed at readers interested not only in learning the basic aspects of Genetics but also in reflecting on its recent developments, with the conviction that everyone should perceive it, not as a detached observer, but as a potential user.

**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Clinical Genetics** First published in 1966, Thompson and Thompson Genetics and Genomics in Medicine has become an essential textbook for medical students, genetic counseling students, students in laboratory medicine, and more advanced trainees. With its focus on fundamental principles in human genetics and genomics and their application to medicine, the book has served many as a well-thumbed resource they return to over and over. Such students can continue to depend on this valuable text, joining those in newer fields of genome data analysis for all they need to know about genetics and genomics throughout their basic science training, clinical placements and beyond. Coverage includes new discoveries-such as the functional roles of non-coding RNAs, chromatin regulation and epigenetics-latest technologies, and new diagnoses they are enabling. Under an expanded title, this ninth edition has been completely revised by a new editorial team overseeing a large cadre of contributing authors. Support groups have also assisted to update illustrations featuring beautiful images of those living with genetic conditions. Comprehensive coverage of: genomes in biology and medicine; copy number and structural genomic variation; novel discoveries; latest technology; and new genetic diagnoses Over 40 clinical case studies, capturing the latest challenges of variable expression, pleiotropy, and complex disorders through new diagnostic strategies Full-color text, illustrations, updated line diagrams, and clinical photos End-of-chapter questions and comprehensive answers to challenge the reader to consolidate the material into practice and prepare for examination An enhanced eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud

Il testo tratta i fondamenti della Genetica dagli aspetti classici fino ai più moderni approcci molecolari

A basic understanding of human genetics is vital for all those working in the field of assisted human reproduction. Genetic makeup can hamper reproduction and insight into this is making genetic diagnosis and counselling increasingly important. This fully updated textbook continues the clear structure of the original edition, beginning with a chapter on the basics of genetics and cytogenetics. Genetic causes of infertility and the effect of epigenetics and transposons on fertility are discussed in detail. Several new chapters are included in this edition, reflecting the advances of the field, including preconception genetic analysis and screening in IVF and mitochondrial genetics. Combining genetics, reproductive biology and medicine, this is an essential text for practitioners in reproductive medicine and geneticists involved in the field looking to improve their knowledge of the subject and provide outstanding patient care.

The second edition of this textbook written for undergraduate students, graduate students and medical researchers, Genetics and Genomics in Medicine explains the science behind the uses of genetics and genomics in medicine today, and how it is being applied. Maintaining the features that made the first edition so popular, this second edition has been thoroughly updated in line with the latest developments in the field. DNA technologies are explained, with emphasis on the modern techniques that are revolutionizing the use of genetic information in medicine and indicating the role of genetics in common diseases. Epigenetics and non-coding RNA are covered in-depth as are genetic approaches to treatment and prevention, including pharmacogenomics, genetic testing, and personalized medicine. A dedicated chapter charts the latest insights into the molecular basis of cancers, cancer genomics and novel approaches to cancer detection. Coverage of genetic testing at the level of genes, chromosomes and genomes has been significantly expanded and updated. Extra prominence has been given to additional genomic analyses, ethical aspects, and novel therapeutic approaches. Various case studies illustrate selected clinical applications. Key Features Comprehensive and integrated account of how genetics and genomics affect the entire spectrum of human health and disease Exquisite artwork illuminates the key concepts and mechanisms Summary points at the end of each chapter help to consolidate learning For each chapter, an abundance of further reading to help provide the reader with direction for further study Inclusive online question bank to test understanding Standard boxes summarizing certain key principles in genetics Clinical boxes summarizing selected case studies, pathogenesis mechanisms or novel therapies for selected diseases This book is equally suited for newcomers to the field as well as for engineers and scientists that have basic knowledge in this field but are interested in obtaining more information about specific future applications..

A10 anni di distanza dalla pubblicazione della terza edizione del libro, abbiamo accolto le sollecitazioni dei colleghi, degli amici e, soprattutto, di molti studenti, di aggiornare i contenuti del nostro trattato di Genetica Medica. Lo abbiamo fatto seguendo i criteri di essenzialità e rigore, richiesti dai programmi e dai requisiti didattici del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Medicina e Chirurgia, dei Corsi di Laurea e Laurea Magistrale relativi alle Professioni Sanitarie e delle Scuole di Specializzazione dell’Area Sanitaria. Questo nuovo testo, significativamente rinnovato nei contenuti e nelle immagini, è stato pensato e sviluppato seguendo l’idea che aveva decretato il successo delle precedenti edizioni, quella di raccontare le nozioni fondamentali della nostra disciplina utilizzando un linguaggio semplice ma rigoroso, capace di raggiungere il lettore, per fornirgli gli strumenti necessari a comprendere la Genetica Medica moderna e il suo impatto sulla salute dell’uomo. Una formula a lungo sperimentata sul campo, elemento fondativo del nostro modo di considerare la didattica universitaria.
