Scott, Moyra Smith, David Valle "The book is a magnificent security blanket for the clinical geneticist and should be in the libraries not only of these specialists, but of all others who see patients with diseases that have genetic components." FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description These volumes are a genetic knowledge-base that serves clinical medicine and biomedical research, including the Human Genome Project. It aims to be comprehensive, authoritative and timely. This edition includes: a total of more than 9000 entries, with 2000 new to this edition; new features and enhancement of old features; mapping information on more than 4000 genes of known function; and information on specific point mutations responsible for more than 700 genetic disorders or neoplasms. Notes The newest edition of a classic reference work in genetics. Author Biography Victor A. McKusick, M.D., is University Professor of Medical Genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He was formerly William Osler Professor and Chairman of the Department of Medicine at that institution and Physician-in-Chief of the Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is co-founder and co-director of the Short Course in Medical and Experimental Mammalian Genetics, held annually in Bar Harbor, Maine, since 1960. Review From a review of the eleventh edition Even the convenience of computer-based forms of MIM cannot eliminate the need for MIM in book form. The preface provides a wonderful synopsis of human genetics. The information contained in this text serves as a concise review for those with a genetics background. Reproductive Toxicology From a review of the tenth edition. [Victor McKusick] has been for all these years the shepherd of the development of the field [of clinical genetics]. Perhaps his most important pragmatic achievement has been the 10 editions of Mendelian Inheritance in Man, which rapidly became and has remained the principal source of information on inherited diseases for all clinical geneticists... In addition to the erudite entries in the books, the references given with each description represent a magnificent bibliography of clinical genetics. With McKusicks leadership and continued interest in gene mapping, the book also represents an important compendium of the location of genes on specific chromosomes... The book is a magnificent security blanket for the clinical geneticist and should be in the libraries not only of these specialists, but also of all others who see patients with diseases that have genetics components.
