Human Genetics : Concepts and Applications
Today, human genetics is for everyone. It is about our variation more than about our illnesses, and increasingly about the common rather than the rare. Once an obscure science or an ocasional explanation for an odd collection of symtomps, human genetics is now part of everyday conservation. At the same time, it is finally being recognized as the basis of medical science. Despite the popular tendency tot alk of a gene for this or that, we now know that for most traits and illnesses, several to many genes interact with each other and environmental influences. By coming to know our genetic backgrounds, we can control our environments in more healthful ways. Genetic knowledge is, therefore, both informative and empowering. This book shows you how why this is true.
