Summary: | This book reviews the rapidly developing field medical genetics from theories to its implications for clinical practice.

Crucially, as issues surrounding breakthroughs in understanding and development of new technologies in genetics have risen to the fore of the cultural consciousness, it gives coverage to the many ethical questions raised.
