Description
Molecular Diagnostics covers current molecular biological techniques used to identify the underlying molecular defects
in inherited disease. Although an increasing number of laboratories, both academic and private are moving in that direction, there are
only a few books in the existing literature, and they deal only partly with diagnosis at the molecular level. Each chapter includes the
principle and a brief description of the technique, followed by exmples from the authors' own epertise. Contributors are well-known experts
in their field, and derive from a variety of disciplines, to ensure breadth and depth of coverage.
Audience
Postgraduate students, researchers, physicians and practicing scientists in molecular genetics; professionals from similar backgrounds
working in diagnostic laboratories in academia or industry; academic institutions and hospital libraries
