Genetics and Auditory Disorders - Springer Handbook of Auditory Research Bronya J B Keats Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2002 edition

Marc Notes: Originally published: 2002.; Genetics is fundamental to hearing function, and an understanding of genetics enhances both auditory research and the clinical treatment of the hearing impaired. This volume covers gene expression, mutations, mapping and cloning, as well as mitochondrial and cellular genetics. Review Quotes: From the reviews: "This handbook represents one of the more recent additions to the expanding list of contributions arising from Springer, illuminating progress in auditory research. this is an excellent and authoritative description of the state of the art in human auditory genetics. This area is moving so fast and, hence I recommend interested readers to get it now ." (R. C. Trembath, Human Genetics, Vol. 114 (3), 2004)"Table of Contents: Introduction and overview: Genetics in auditory science and clinical audiology by Bronya JB Keats and Charles I. Berlin * Genes and mutations in hearing impairment by Karen B. Avraham and Tama Hasson * Cytogenetics and cochlear expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for identification of genes involved in hearing and deafness by Ann B. Skvorak Giersch and Cynthia C. Morton * Mapping and cloning of genes for inherited hearing impairment by Robert F. Mueller, Guy Van Camp, and Nick J. Lench * Genetic epidemiology of deafness by Walter E.

Katherine OerlrichReview Quotes: From the reviews: "This handbook represents one of the more recent additions to the expanding list of contributions arising from Springer, illuminating progress in auditory research. this is an excellent and authoritative description of the state of the art in human auditory genetics.

Trembath, Human Genetics, Vol. 114 (3), 2004) Description for Sales People: This volume covers gene expression, mutations responsible for various forms of hearing loss, mapping and cloning, as well as mitochondrial and cellular genetics. The authors discuss the fundamentals of genetics so that the reader has a complete understanding of methods used in molecular genetic studies for hearing research. Chapters are also included on the uses of mouse models, genetic epidemiology and genetic counseling specifically for hearing disordersReview Quotes: From the reviews: "This handbook represents one of the more recent additions to the expanding list of contributions arising from Springer, illuminating progress in auditory research. this is an excellent and authoritative description of the state of the art in human auditory genetics.
