Product Description:
Univ. of Southern California, Los Angeles. Focuses on methods of identifying the joint effects of genes and environment on disease patterns. Features the study designs and statistical analysis techniques for determining whether a trait runs in families, estimating the parameters of genetic model, or whether a genetic tendency is due to genetic or environmental factors.

Huntington's Disease (Genes and Disease)
By David M. Lawrence * Publisher: Chelsea House Publications * Number Of Pages: 144 * Publication Date: 2009-06-30 * ISBN-10 / ASIN: 079109586X * ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780791095867 Product Description: Huntington's disease, or Huntington's chorea, is a progressive genetic disease marked by death of brain cells coupled with loss of muscular control and coordination, declining mental abilities, and erratic behavior. Currently, this form of dementia has no cure. "Huntington's Disease" introduces this disease, detailing its history and progression, and discusses the search for the gene that causes it and the development of genetic tests for the gene. This title also addresses the ethical questions of testing people for a disease whose symptoms typically develop later in life.

Understanding Biotechnology
Share
Paperback: 240 pages
Data: January 27, 2003
Format: CHM
Description: An objective, thorough, and accessible introduction to biotechnology.
Biotechnology will have an increasingly profound impact on human health, agriculture, the environment, and society itself. Understanding Biotechnology offers an introduction to biotechnology that is balanced, accurate, current, thorough, and accessible to both non-specialists and professionals. The authors begin with a brief history of biotechnology and an introduction to the underlying principles of genetic engineering. Next, they review every key area of biotechnology research, thoroughly addressing both technical practice and implications—including biosafety and ethical issues. Understanding Biotechnology presents careful and complete introductions to cloning, gene therapy, pharmacogenomics, molecular markers, forensic DNA, bioremediation, and biodiversity, as well as a full chapter on the risks of bioterrorism. It also includes an extensive glossary and detailed references for further study.

Genes and Common Diseases Genetics in Modern Medicine
Share
Genes and Common Diseases presents an up-to-date view of the role of genetics in modern medicine, reflecting the strengths and limitations of a genetic perspective. The current shift in emphasis from the study of rare single gene disorders to common diseases brings genetics into every aspect of modern medicine, from infectious diseases to therapeutics. However, it is unclear whether this increasingly genetic focus will prove useful in the face of major environmental influences in many common diseases. The book takes a hard and self-critical look at what can and cannot be achieved using a genetic approach and what is known about genetic and environmental mechanisms in a variety of common diseases. It seeks to clarify the goals of human genetic research by providing state-of-the art insights into known molecular mechanisms underlying common disease processes while at the same time providing a realistic overview of the expected genetic and physiological complexity.
