Description

An Introduction to Genetic Epidemiology by Lyle J. Palmer, Paul R. Burton, and George Davey Smith is a comprehensive textbook that introduces students and academics to the rapidly developing field of genetic epidemiology.

Starting with a primer in human molecular genetics, this book then examines standard methods in population genetics and genetic epidemiology required for an adequate grounding in the field. It also discusses the public health aspects of the new genetics and provides guidance on epidemiological methods for studying genes and environmental factors in complex diseases.

Written by leading international experts and supplemented with a glossary and further reading guides, this textbook is designed to be widely welcomed by teachers and students on many courses internationally.
