There has been a recent explosion of knowledge in the field of respiratory genetics. This authoritative text brings together current knowledge in respiratory genetics in a single volume. The book includes a comprehensive introductory section to provide guidance and aid understanding of key basic concepts in respiratory genetics, including statistical methods, sample collection, bioinformatics, and functional genomics. This is followed by a series of disease-specific chapters that review epidemiology, natural history, monogenic determinants, complex disease components, disease management, and likely future developments. Respiratory Genetics is an essential reference for pulmonologists, translational researchers, and clinical geneticists, and the text will also be a useful library reference
