Summary "This book provides an historical perspective of research on genetics and human disease and highlights both current techniques, as well as new methodologies under development. There then follows a chapter by chapter overview of research in each of 6 different fields, demonstrating the role of genetic polymorphisms in altering the susceptibility of individuals to various diseases, both inherited and environmental. It is hoped that this book will not only become an invaluable reference source for genetic researchers, but will also serve as an excellent primer for students first entering the field."--Back cover
