Genetic Basis of Disease

SERIES EDITOR:
Michael Dean, Cancer Researcher, Frederick, Maryland
This series explores the genetic basis of human disease, documenting the molecular basis for rare, common, Mendelian, and complex conditions. The series discusses the fundamental principles in understanding concepts such as Mendel’s laws of inheritance, and genetic mapping through modern examples. In addition, current methods (GWAS, genome sequencing) and hot topics (epigenetics, imprinting) will be introduced through examples of specific diseases.

Series ISSNs: 2168-4006 (print) and 2168-4022 (electronic)
