Synopsis

Today, human genetics is for everyone! It is about variation more than about illnesses, and increasingly about the common rather than the rare. Once an obscurce science or an occasional explanation for an odd collection of symptoms, human genetics is now part of everyday conversation. By coming to know genetic backgrounds, people can control their environments in more healthful ways. Genetic knowledge is, therefore, both informative and empowering, and this new tenth edition of Human Genetics: Concepts and Applications shows students how and why that is true.

New to the tenth edition, compelling stories and case studies include:

  • A university encourages genetic testing of all incoming freshmen until stopped
  • How are autism and schizophrenia related?
  • How famine sowed the seeds of schizophrenia, thanks to epigenetics
  • The Berlin patient: curing leukemia and HIV
  • A new view of allergy, due to mutation
  • Experimental evolution and the Gulf oil spill

    • Human Genetics is now available with McGraw-Hill Connect Human Genetics, a web-based assignment and assessment platform that gives students the means to better connect with their coursework, with their teachers, and with the important concepts they will need to know for success now and in the future. Connect Human Genetics allows students to practice important skills at their own pace and on their own schedule. Students' assessment results and teacher's feedback are all saved online, so students can continually review their progress and plot their course to success. Teachers can also choose ConnectPlus Human Genetics. Like Connect, ConnectPlus provides online assignments and assessments, plus 24/7 access to an eBook - an online edition of the text - to aid them in successfully completing their work, wherever and whenever they choose.
