Description
|
|
|
|
From Mendel's work with plants over a century ago to Watson and Crick's 1953 model of the double-helix structure of DNA, and the final decoding of the human genome in 2003, the advances in our ability to analyze and interpret genetic information are revolutionizing many aspects of medicine. This illustrated omnibus collects and updates an acclaimed series of articles published in the New England Journal of Medicine since November 2002 that thoroughly survey developments in medical genetics and explore where these advances might take medicine over the next decade, including information on the use of genetics to screen, diagnose, and treat ailments like breast and ovarian cancer, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
