Summary: "Human genetics is the study of inheritance in humans. It is approached in a multidisciplinary manner from the diverse field of genetics such as classical, molecular and biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, developmental genetics, etc. The study of human genetics is vital to the understanding of human disease and development of effective treatments. Besides these, it also presents valuable insights into human nature and personality. The concepts of autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance x-linked and y-inheritance are vital to this field. Pedigree chart analysis allows the determination of the parent who contributes to the transmission of a specific trait. Human genetics is an upcoming field of science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of human genetics, as easy and informative as possible, for the readers."--Back cover
