For 35 years, "Thompson and Thompson Genetics in Medicine" has been a favourite genetics textbook for medical students. This long-awaited sixth edition, now in a revised re-print, continues to provide a readable and understandable review of the basic principles of medical genetics, including recent advances in molecular genetics and the clinical applications of this new knowledge for the diagnosis and management of genetic disorders. Now brought completely up to date, this edition has been extensively revised and includes new information on developmental defects, genetics of complex diseases, genetics of cancer, molecular and biochemical basis of genetics, and the human genome project. It also features an all-new set of 29 clinical cases with color photographs to assist students in relating basic genetics to clinical genetic disease. These cases will also help instructors integrate clinical material into their courses. The revised re-print brings this book up to date with all new findings in medical genetics and some additional case studies.

Reviewed in the United States on 25 May 2010Verified Purchase
The book is used by it is really good. I am very satisfied with it. The only (minor) problem is that it took a long time to arrive (about 1 month), but it was worth waiting for it.

臨床遺伝学のバイブル的存在
Reviewed in Japan on 2 April 2002Verified Purchase
近年の人類遺伝学の進歩は著しく、今や日常診療の中でも遺伝学的知識は必要不可欠なものとなっています。本書(第6版)は、最新の知見に基づき昨年改訂されたばかりであり、「臨床」の視点に立ち、あらゆる診療科に関係する基本的な遺伝学的知識を網羅しています。臨床遺伝学を専門とする医師の入門書として最適であるばかりでなく、ぜひ一般の臨床家にも一読していただきたい本であり、また値段も手頃で、医学生の入門書としても自信を持って推薦できる本です。
