Infos

This pioneering book offers a distinctive exploration of a previously uncharted realm; the book effectively amalgamates the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, and molecular genetics concerning essential element-related genetic disorders, employing a coherent and logical approach. The result is a comprehensive guide to essential metals metabolism, covering their regulation, functions, and corresponding genetic disorders. It serves as an authoritative guide for a diverse audience, including medical students, medical nutritionists, medical geneticists, and basic medical scientists. This innovative perspective is particularly pertinent in an age where interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for comprehensive patient care and medical practice. By fostering a practice-centred approach in clinical medicine, the book will inspire clinicians to embrace a holistic viewpoint. Simultaneously, it beckons basic medical scientists to delve into the enigmatic domain of genetic disorders associated with essential elements.
