Synopsis

Molecular Diagnostics covers current molecular biological techniques used to identify the underlying molecular defects in inherited disease. Although an increasing number of laboratories, both academic and private are moving in that direction, there are only a few books in the existing literature, and they deal only partly with diagnosis at the molecular level. Each chapter includes the principle and a brief description of the technique, followed by exmples from the authors' own epertise. Contributors are well-known experts in their field, and derive from a variety of disciplines, to ensure breadth and depth of coverage.

* Examines widely used molecular biology techniques to screen for genetic defects causing inherited disorders
* Includes state-of-the-art techniques for the detection of the underlying genetic heterogeneity leading to inherited disorders
* Identification of genetically modified organisms (GMO's)
* Forensic analysis and every-day issues in a diagnostic laboratory
* Discusses ethics, genetic counselling and quality management

Revue de presse

"...the book is uniform in style. The text is free of jargon and is well written in an easy to understand style. ...This book is a great resource for experienced readers, giving them a wide overview of the most up-to-date methods. It is also a great book for students and medical professionals who want to learn about the molecular tools used in diagnostics. ...a great teaching aid for courses involving molecular biology, genetics and diagnostic techniques."
- AUSTRALIAN BIOCHEMIST (April 2006)

"...the book will be useful to investigators in the diagnostic laboratory and to scientists generally who want a summary of current methods. ...Inclusion of ethical and safety considerations (as well as a section on patents) is a distinct plus, not often seen. ...this is a well organized and edited contribution."
- DOODY'S (October 2005)
