Provides an overview of the impact that recombinant DNA technology is having, and should continue to have, on the practice of medicine. Chapters attempt to describe molecular medicine within disciplines, from molecular technology and medical genetics, to therapeutics and forensic medicine.
The book provides an overview of the impact which recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology is having on medical practice. Called molecular medicine, this rapidly expanding area will have an increasing role to play in future. Molecular medicine is relevant to many medical disciplines eg. internal medicine, reproductive medicine, forensic medicine and laboratory practice. Details on the molecular genetics of Hungingdon's Disease, finally located in Spring 1993 are also included. For departments of general/internal medicine this book provides an overview of where rDNA technology fits into medicine and outlines what future applications could be. For departments of medical genetics "Molecular Medicine" puts developments in genetics in an overall framework so that a total picture is seen, putting the findings into a clinical perspective. For departments of biochemistry/molecular biology it highlights the practical applications that biochemistry and molecular biology has to medical practice.
For departments of pathology, this book highlights areas where rDNA techniques are important investigative tools for routine diagnostic tests or research activities and outlines the interactions of this technology to other disciplines. "Molecular Medicine" should also be useful to departments of medical microbiology, pharmacology and obstetrics and gynaecology, where it can be used for drug design, in the care of the fetus-in-utero or the neonate.
