"Genetics in the Clinic" provides a broad understanding of advances in genetics and their implications for primary care practice. The book begins with basic concepts in genetics, diagnosis and management of genetic disease, cancer genetics, and prenatal testing. Part Two deals with topics relevant to all areas of primary care, such as cultural and ethnic differences, the role of the nurse, and genetic counselling. Part Three addresses ethical or social issues applicable to specific practices. The book's final section considers regulatory matters, including the impact of managed care and insurance and employment issues. Practitioners who are knowledgeable about health care, but who have no special training in genetics, will find this book especially useful as they learn to deal with the clinical, ethical, and social implications of advances in genetics for their practice.
