Integrating Precision Medicine and Medical Genetics in Human Disease, (Paperback)

Advances in medical genetics are rapidly transforming how diseases are understood, diagnosed, and treated, opening new pathways for more precise and personalized healthcare. The field now spans foundational principles of the human genome, patterns of inheritance, and the evolution of genomic technologies, alongside increasingly sophisticated diagnostic pathways. These developments underpin clinical applications across rare diseases, oncology, cardiology, and neurology, supported by tools such as whole genome sequencing and polygenic risk assessment. At the same time, the implementation of precision medicine is expanding through pharmacogenomics and prenatal genetics, while emerging frontiers continue to redefine the boundaries of care. Equally critical are the broader dimensions of practice, encompassing genetic counseling, ethical and social considerations, data governance, health economics, and global equity--all of which shape the responsible translation of genomic innovation into real-world healthcare. Integrating Precision Medicine and Medical Genetics in Human Disease systematically bridges the longstanding gap between the foundational science of medical genetics and its practical application in precision medicine. This book moves beyond a simple compilation of topics by forging a cohesive narrative that charts the entire pathway--from genomic variant discovery and interpretation to clinical diagnostics and the development of personalized therapeutic strategies. Covering topics such as cancer diagnosis, machine learning, and tumor monitoring, this book is an indispensable academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, medical geneticists, oncologists, pathologists, genetic counselors, pharmaceutical practitioners, policymakers, and more.
