Summary: "Genetic Analysis of Complex Diseases, Third Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the various strategies, designs, and methods of analysis for the study of human complex genetic disease. It offers a broad-based understanding of the problems and solutions based on successful applications in the design and execution of gene mapping projects. Chapters present clear and easily referenced overviews of the broad range of considerations involved in genetic analysis of human complex genetic disease, including design, sampling, data collection, linkage and association studies, and social, legal, and ethical issues. These studies promise a greater understanding of the genetic basis of common disorders, improved ability to detect risk factors, and development of new treatment strategies. The new edition of Genetics Analysis of Complex Disease is a unique and much needed resource as more and more clinical researchers are increasingly adopting a genetic perspective to investigate disease etiology, diagnostics, and prognostics"-- Provided by publisher.Summary: "The twelfth edition of Introduction to Genetic Analysis takes this cornerstone textbook to the next level. The hallmark focus on genetic analysis, quantitative problem solving, and experimentation continues in this new edition. New to the twelfth edition are Chapter Objectives and Core Principles. Each chapter begins with a two-sentence paragraph describing the goals of the chapter and placing the chapter topic into context of the surrounding chapter. This helps students "see the forest" before stepping into the "trees". Introduction to Genetic Analysis divides genetics into three segments : transmission genetics, molecular genetics, and evolutionary genetics. Each part of the text now begins with a three- to five-page introduction outlining the core principles that characterize that segment of genetics. These help orient students by providing an overview of the themes they'll encounter as they read each part."-- adapted from The Evolution of a Classic, page xii.
