Today, human genetics is for everyone! It is about variation more than about illnesses, and increasingly about the common rather than the rare. Once an obscurce science or an occasional explanation for an odd collection of symptoms, human genetics is now part of everyday conversation. By coming to know genetic backgrounds, people can control their environments in more healthful ways. Genetic knowledge is, therefore, both informative and empowering, and this new tenth edition of Human Genetics: Concepts and Applications shows students how and why that is true.

New to the tenth edition, compelling stories and case studies include:

A university encourages genetic testing of all incoming freshmen until stopped How are autism and schizophrenia related? How famine sowed the seeds of schizophrenia, thanks to epigenetics The Berlin patient: curing leukemia and HIV A new view of allergy, due to mutation Experimental evolution and the Gulf oil spill
