For both clinical and research geneticists, this guide explains how to calculate an individual's genetic risk based on information from genetic testing and family pedigree. It starts with general theory and progresses through familial and isolated cases, both simple and complex.
The author declares that the basic aim of this book is to impart the fundamentals of the way in which he begins with laboratory results and ends up with numbers representing genetic risks. Intended as a practical guide for both clinical and research geneticists, it explains how to calculate an individual's genetic risk based on information from genetic testing and family pedigrees. The author starts with the general theory of estimating genetic risks and progresses through familial and isolated cases, both simple and complex. Worked examples are provided throughout the text. The disorders are selected to be widely applicable or adaptable as needed.
