Human Reproductive and Prenatal Genetics, 2nd Edition, is an academic reference work designed to explain the biological mechanisms behind human reproduction and gestational health. Edited by Peter C.K. Leung and Jie Qiao, this publication supports active researchers and clinicians in human genetics, genomics, and reproductive medicine by examining how genomic science informs developmental biology.

The text synthesizes essential stages of cellular and physiological progression across human development. It covers the genetic control underlying reproductive tract development and gametogenesis, alongside the genetics of fertilization and embryo implantation. Further chapters examine genetic and epigenetic factors in assisted reproduction while detailing placental function during normal and abnormal pregnancies.

Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2024 in Clinical Genetics, this edition provides a structured evidentiary framework for specialized practice. It offers reference value for gynecologists, obstetricians, andrologists, embryologists, endocrinologists, genetic counselors, bioethicists, and advanced students.
