Synopsis

Medical and Health Genomics provides concise and evidence-based technical and practical information on the applied and translational aspects of genome sciences and the technologies related to non-clinical medicine and public health. Coverage is based on evolving paradigms of genomic medicine-in particular, the relation to public and population health genomics now being rapidly incorporated in health management and administration, with further implications for clinical population and disease management. * Provides extensive coverage of the emergent field of health genomics and its huge relevance to healthcare management* Presents user-friendly language accompanied by explanatory diagrams, figures, and many references for further study* Covers the applied, but non-clinical, sciences across disease discovery, genetic analysis, genetic screening, and prevention and management* Details the impact of clinical genomics across a diverse array of public and community health issues, and within a variety of global healthcare systems
