The study of genetic disorder has progressed rapidly and dramatically in recent decades as the mysteries of genetics have begun to be unravelled and it is now a dynamic, fast-developing field. This book gathers high-quality research from experts worldwide to provide the reader with an informed and up-to-date view of the state of the field. For ease of use, it is divided into three parts. The first offers general perspectives on genetic disorders, such as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome and the relationship between genetics and obesity. The second part showcases new advances, and includes topics such as the use of cytogenetic techniques for diagnostics, as well as new research on thalassemia and Turner Syndrome. Part three considers population genetics, considering numerical simulation and the use of minisatellite DNA markers. Part four, finally, considers some human genetic disorders. Topics discussed include the role of detecting genetic mutations in defining the spectrum of ?-Thalassemia, the genetic makeup of Azoreans, and nanomedicine and drug delivery strategies for treating genetic diseases. This book will be a useful resource for students and researchers with interests in genetics, genetic medicine and molecular medicine.
