Today, human genetics is for everyone. It is about variation more than about illnesses, and increasingly about the common rather than about the rare. Once an obscure science or an occasional explanation for an odd collection of symptoms, human genetics is now part of everyday conversation.

This edition of Human Genetics: Concepts and Applications shows students how and why that is true. Users who purchase Connect receive access to the full online eBook version of the textbook.…mehr
