The word genetics, coined by William Bateson, is derived
from the Latin word genesis, which means birth. Genetics is the study of
heredity and variation. Heredity refers to the transmission of genetic
information, more precisely genes, from parents to offspring. This PDF

This book, Human
Genetic Diseases contains many diverse chapters, dealing with human genetic
diseases, methods to diagnose them, novel approaches to treat them and molecular
approaches and concepts to understand them. Although this book does not give a
comprehensive overview of human genetic diseases, and the sixteen book chapters
will be a valuable resource for researchers and students in different life and
medical sciences.
The first Section
of this book provides readers with background and several methodologies for
understanding genetic disorders. Genetic defects, diagnoses and treatments of
the respective unifactorial and multifactorial genetic disorders are reviewed in
the second and third Sections.
This book aims to provide an overview on
some of the latest developments in several genetic diseases. It contains 14
chapters focused on various genetic disorders addressing epidemiology, etiology,
molecular basis and novel treatment options for these diseases.
The textbook Genomes, by Terence A.
Brown, is available online and provides insight into genomics with the
traditional approach to gene expression. The integrated approach of this book
provides a teaching resource for modern molecular biology.
From the National Center for Biotechnology Information,
Genes and Disease is an online collection of articles that discuss genes and the
diseases that they cause. These genetic disorders are organized by the parts of
the body that they affect.
Genes and Disease is a collection of
articles that discuss genes and the diseases that they cause. These genetic
disorders are organized by the parts of the body that they affect. As some
diseases affect various body systems, they appear in more than one chapter.
