Emery's Elements of Medical Genetics, 15th Edition, serves as an introductory textbook covering the fundamentals of medical and human genetics. The volume is designed for medical undergraduates as well as postgraduates seeking to strengthen their knowledge of inherited conditions and clinical applications.
The text addresses the biological foundations of human inheritance, the integration of genetics and genomics in medicine, and the clinical management of genetic conditions. It examines how inherited factors influence health while exploring the ethical, social, and counseling considerations that guide patient care.
To support study and review, concise Elements summary boxes appear at the end of each chapter to present fundamental concepts at a glance.
