This updated and revised third edition of INTRODUCTION TO MOLECULAR MEDICINE explains the fundamental principles vital to an understanding of the human genome, gene regulation and expression, and genetic engineering. Principles are then applied to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease in infectious diseases, inherited genetic diseases, the immune system and blood cells, cancer, and public health. It presents the basics of molecular biology and its impact on medicine in a user-friendly, concise, conversation format, with new discussions on the human genome project and genetic engineering.
