3 August 2017 (Thursday) - The Genetics of Disease

The nice people at Wiley sent me an email today updating me on the latest developments in the genetics of disease. I wasn’t expecting it; there were some interesting snippets in there:

Genetics and genomics have become increasingly central to the understanding of disease. In this Annual Review Issue, we have sampled this rapidly expanding field, in a deliberately eclectic fashion; in this way, we illustrate key aspects of the intimate relationship between pathology and genetics, as they relate to many areas of disease. Click here to access the issue online Highlights include: Genetics meets Pathology – an increasingly important relationship David T Bonthron and William D Foulkes Measuring cancer evolution from the genome Trevor A. Graham and Andrea Sottoriva The genetics and pathology of mitochondrial disease Charlotte L. Alston, Mariana C. Rocha, Nichola Z. Lax, Doug M. Turnbull and Robert W Taylor Cancer predisposition syndromes: lessons for truly precision medicine Mark A Glaire, Matthew Brown, David N Church and Ian Tomlinson The molecular underpinning of prostate cancer: impacts on management and pathology practice Daniel Nava Rodrogues, Gunther Boysen, Semini Sumanasuriya, George Seed, Angelo M. De Marzo and Johann de Bono The genetic background of inflammatory bowel disease: from correlation to causality Werna T.C. Uniken Venema, Michiel D. Voskuil, Gerard Dijkstra, Rinse K.
