The fourth edition of this well-known text provides students, researchers and technicians in the area of medicine, genetics and cell biology with a concise, understandable introduction to the structure and behavior of human chromosomes. This new edition continues to cover both basic and up-to-date material on normal and defective chromosomes, yet is particularly strengthened by the complete revision of the material on the molecular genetics of chromosomes and chromosomal defects. The mapping and molecular analysis of chromosomes is one of the most exciting and active areas of modern biomedical research, and this book will be invaluable to scientists, students, technicians and physicians with an interest in the function and dysfunction of chromosomes.

Genomics of Rare Diseases: Understanding Disease Genetics Using Genomic Approaches, a new volume in the Translational and Applied Genomics series, offers readers a broad understanding of current knowledge on rare diseases through a genomics lens. This clear understanding of the latest molecular and genomic technologies used to elucidate the molecular causes of more than 5,000 genetic disorders brings readers closer to unraveling many more that remain undefined and undiscovered. The challenges associated with performing rare disease research are also discussed, as well as the opportunities that the study of these disorders provides for improving our understanding of disease architecture and pathophysiology. Leading chapter authors in the field discuss approaches such as karyotyping and genomic sequencing for the better diagnosis and treatment of conditions including recessive diseases, dominant and X-linked disorders, de novo mutations, sporadic disorders and mosaicism. - Compiles applied case studies and methodologies, enabling researchers, clinicians and healthcare providers to effectively classify DNA variants associated with disease and patient phenotypes - Discusses the main challenges in studying the genetics of rare diseases through genomic approaches and possible or ongoing solutions - Explores opportunities for novel therapeutics - Features chapter contributions from leading researchers and clinicians

This book provides an introduction to human cytogenetics. It is also suitable for use as a text in a general cytogenetics course, since the basic features of chromosome structure and behavior are shared by all eukar yotes. Because my own background includes plant and animal cytoge netics, many of the examples are taken from organisms other than man. Since the book is written from a cytogeneticist's point of view, human syndromes are described only as illustrations of the effects of abnormal chromosome constitutions on the phenotype. The selection of the phe nomena to be discussed and of the photographs to illustrate them is, in many cases, subjective and arbitrary and is naturally influenced by my interests and the work done in our laboratory. The approach to citations is the exact opposite of that usually used in scientific papers. Whenever possible, the latest and/or most comprehen sive review has been cited, instead of the original publication. Thus the reader is encouraged to delve deeper into any question of interest to him or her. I am greatly indebted to many colleagues for suggestions and criticism. However, my special thanks are due to Dr. JAMES F. CROW, Dr. TRAUTE M. SCHROEDER, and Dr. CARTER DENNISTON for their courage in reading the entire manuscript. I wish to express my gratitude also to the cytogeneticists and editors who have generously permitted the use of published and unpublished photographs.

Morrison (human genetics, University of Ulster, UK) and Spence (biomedical science, University of Ulster, UK) offer an accessible reference on the genetic disorders that surgeons can expect to meet in general surgical practice. Written in non-technical language, with a glossary, list of abbreviations, and color and b&w photos and medical images, the book supplies an introduction to the nomenclature and technology of molecular biology, and will be a useful starting point for those who wish to extend their knowledge.

Small Supernumerary Marker Chromosomes (sSMC)

Human beings normally have a total of 46 chromosomes, with each chromosome present twice, apart from the X and Y chromosomes in males. Some three million people worldwide, however, have 47 chromosomes: they have a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) in addition to the 46 normal ones. This sSMC can originate from any one of the 24 human chromosomes and can have different shapes. Approximately one third of sSMC carriers show clinical symptoms, while the remaining two thirds manifest no phenotypic effects. This guide represents the first book ever published on this topic. It presents the latest research results on sSMC and current knowledge about the genotype-phenotype correlation. The focus is on genetic diagnostics as well as on prenatal and fertility-related genetic counseling. A unique feature is that research meets practice: numerous patient reports complement the clinical aspects and depict the experiences of families living with a family member with an sSMC.

Human Chromosomes: An Illustrated Introduction to Human Cytogenetics focuses on the processes, methodologies, and approaches involved in the study of human chromosomes. The publication first offers information on the cell and its activity, particularly noting that the cell is the basic unit that forms the organs and tissues of the human body. The differentiation of cells and the process of cell division are discussed. The text then focuses on the culture of human cells for the investigation of the chromosomes. The book elaborates on the identification of human chromosomes, including further methods of identification and the use of radioactive isotopes. The publication also ponders on the numerical changes in the karyotype, structural changes, and X chromosomes. Discussions focus on the processes of mitosis and meiosis, translocation, deletion, duplication, and ring formation, and the behavior, transformation, and characteristics of X chromosome. The text is a valuable reference for researchers interested in the study of human chromosomes.

Diagnostics and Gene Therapy for Human Genetic Disorders provides an integrative and comprehensive source of information blending classical human genetics with the human genome. It provides a multidisciplinary overview of Mendelian inheritance and multifactorial inheritance, genetic variations, polymorphisms, chromosomal, multifactorial, and mitochondrial disorders. PCR, electrophoresis, cytogenetics, prenatal, and HPLC based techniques applied for diagnosing genetic disorders are discussed with applications. Symptoms, etiology, diagnosis, treatment of 14 major and 5 minor genetic disorders are discussed in detail. Methods employed for the preparation of kits for the diagnosis of diseases are provided. The role of gene therapy in the amelioration of genetic disorders and the methodology employed are discussed. The success of gene therapy in controlling various disorders such as immune system disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disorders, eye diseases, and cancer has been described along with type studies. Features: A blend of classical human genetics with molecular and genome-based applications Techniques applied for the diagnosis of genetic disorders Diagnostics of 19 genetic disorders including symptoms, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment Role of gene therapy in the amelioration of disorders Type studies describing the role of diagnostics in conserving the human health This book attempts to connect all the information about classical and modern human genetics, genetic disorders, and gene therapy to all types of diseases in one place. This work provides a comprehensive source of information that can serve as a reference book for scientific investigations and as a textbook for the graduate students.
