Product Description

The Human Genome Project has led to the creation of a new area of biology known as Genomics. In the coming decade, physicians will have access to new drugs and new diagnostic tests created with genomics technologies. However, genomics will impact all aspects of medicine as hereditary factors are discovered which influence things such as susceptibility and resistance, severity of symptoms, reactions to drugs, tissue compatibility and regeneration potential, etc. This book provides the essential information that every physician needs to know about genomics in order to answer patient questions and incorporate these new technologies into their practice.
