GENETICS AND GENOMICS IN MEDICINE: Mastering the Molecular Revolution to Advance Targeted Therapy and Individualized Patient Management by Dr. Don S. Cane

Genetics and Genomics in Medicine: Mastering the Molecular Revolution to Advance Targeted Therapy and Individualized Patient Management is a comprehensive and modern textbook that brings together the rapidly evolving fields of human genetics, molecular biology, and clinical genomics. Designed for medical students, laboratory medicine trainees, genetic counseling students, and advanced clinicians, this book provides a clear and structured pathway from foundational genetic principles to cutting-edge applications in precision medicine. With a strong emphasis on clinically relevant concepts, the book explores how genomic science is reshaping diagnosis, prevention, and treatment in modern healthcare. Beginning with the fundamentals of DNA structure, gene expression, and chromosomal organization, it builds toward more advanced topics such as mutational mechanisms, epigenetics, multifactorial disease, developmental genetics, and cancer genomics. Each chapter integrates molecular theory with real-world medical implications, helping readers understand how genomic variation translates into health and disease. The text also highlights the expanding role of genomics in clinical practice, including genetic counseling, reproductive medicine, prenatal screening, and hereditary disease risk assessment. Special attention is given to precision medicine, gene-based therapies, genome editing technologies, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence in genomic analysis and patient care.
