"Emery's Elements of Medical Genetics" is a classic introduction to the subject that has remained popular over the past thirty five years through regular revision. Its success is also due to a three-part structure that takes the student through the basic principles of genetics, goes on to show how they can be applied to general medicine, and then describes genetics disorders and the practice of clinical genetics. Its succinct and direct text make it the perfect reference for a medical undergraduate or basic introduction to the subject for a science student. This twelfth edition has been rigorously updated, in particular in the areas of: molecular genetics, DNA technology and ethics. Clinical examples have been added throughout the text, a new self-testing section has been added and the clinical photographs updated and improved.
