978-1-119-24095-2 (ISBN)
»Clinical Genetics and Genomics at a Glance« combines the clinical and scientific facets of a complex subject in a way that is both accessible and succinct to facilitate the diagnosis, treatment, and management of common genetic conditions.
Using the popular “at a Glance” format, this book enables the reader to gain a solid understanding of the practical applications of clinical genetics in different systems. Covering a wide range of topics, this book is perfect for an introduction on the subject texts or for revision purposes and are useful throughout medical school and beyond.
»Clinical Genetics and Genomics at a Glance« uses a systemic approach following all the systems in the body:
- General topics such as inheritance, cytogenetic and molecular genetic techniques, how to read a genetic test report, and genetic counselling
- Chapters on key conditions with a genetic basis, organised by body systems, for example:
- Cardiology topics such as congenital heart disease, ischaemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death
- Dermatology topics such as tuberous sclerosis, Gorlin syndrome, Darier disease, lamellar ichthyosis, mal de meleda, cutaneous porphyria, and epidermolysis bullosa
- Endocrinology topics such as adrenal gland conditions, androgen insensitivity syndrome, ambiguous sex syndromes, anorchism, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and diabetes mellitus
»Clinical Genetics and Genomics at a Glance« is a helpful learning aid that can be used at various stages of medical training to gain an understanding of the aspects of clinical genetics and the fundamentals behind the specialty. The text also functions as a useful on-ward reference tool for practitioners of all experience levels.

He qualified from the University of Oxford and has since completed his postgraduate training across Oxford, London, and the East Midlands. Through his paediatric orthopaedic training, coupled with a sub-specialist interest in Hand and Wrist surgery, he has developed an interest in the role of genetics in musculoskeletal development and pathology. He has a keen interest in both, undergraduate and post-graduate teaching, and serving as active faculty on a number of university and national courses. He has authored two textbooks, with a further two in press, alongside a number of peer-reviewed publications. For the past 15 years he has also run a free educational website for medical students.
Professor Julian G Barwell, Consultant in Clinical Genetics and honorary professor in genomic medicine, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. Dr Julian Barwell is a consultant in clinical genetics, division 3 clinical lead for the East Midlands Clinical Research Network and an honorary professor in Genomic Medicine at the University Hospitals of Leicester. He has a particular interest in the development and implementation of new digital and genomic technologies into 21st century healthcare.
Professor Pradeep C Vasudevan, Consultant in Clinical Genetics and honorary professor, University of Leicester. He qualified from University of Kerala in 1995. He underwent training in Clinical genetics and Paediatrics at Oxford and Sheffield and joined as a consultant in Clinical Genetics at University Hospitals of Leicester in 2006. He is the Head of Clinical Genetics service at Leicester since 2010 and a honorary professor in department of Genetics at University of Leicester and was also awarded visiting Professorship at Hubei University of medicine, China.
Dr Huw R Dorkins, Consultant in Clinical Genetics, University Hospitals of Leicester.
