Genetics in Endocrinology (IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory)by John D Baxter
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:An extensive body of evidence highlights the crucial importance of endocrine genetics. Examples range from human growth disorders and obesity to cancers of the prostate and breast. A pivotal part of the Modern Endocrinology Series, this book presents major biological studies underlining the significance of data obtained from knock-out mice, as well as from transgenic animals. Gene therapy and laboratory evaluation and screening of genetic endocrine diseases are covered, as are many of the classical endocrine diseases. Book News Annotation:This text is one in a three-volume set devoted to major
pathophysiological mechanisms underlying many known endocrine
diseases: hormone hyperresponsiveness/hyporesponsiveness, gene
mutations, and autoimmunity. Seventy-eight international specialists
contribute 33 chapters on genetics as it applies to endocrinology in
general and the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the endocrine
system. Background information on genetics in endocrinology is
followed by chapters on the classical diseases facing
endocrinologists, and more recent diseases of importance, such as
obesity, those causing abnormalities in lipoproteins, and those of
the skeletal system. Other topics include the role of hormones in
cancer, insulin-dependent diabetes, autoimmune thyroid disease, and
resistance syndromes. For the clinician, researcher, and student of
endocrinology.
