Professor Max Levitan has revised and updated this established textbook on human genetics. Contributors review the basic laws and explain complex genetic concepts, drawing upon examples from human population genetics and medicine, and incorporate the latest research on new techniques in molecular genetics. The lengthy reviews of basic Mendelian genetics have been cut, to focus exclusively on human genetics and the text is fully illustrated with electron micrographs and clinical photographs of all common genetic disorders.

This established text has been completely revised, reorganized, and updated to accommodate the vast changes that have occurred in human genetics during the last decade. Using numerous examples from human biology and medicine, the author reviews the basic laws of genetics, the common genetic diseases, and their causes in humans. He presents the latest data and techniques, including the molecular regulation of gene expression in humans and the use of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to map human genes and identify genetic diseases. New chapters have been added on human immunogenetics, oncogenes, and cancer. The author explains complex concepts with clarity and uses an extensive array of diagrams and illustrations, including electron micrographs and clinical photographs of all common genetic diseases.
