"Your Genes, Your Health and Personalised Medicine"

RC Michaelis and KM Sweet

The title "Your Genes, Your Health and Personalised Medicine" not only explains the subject in plain language, but gives information which can be used daily, and to make major health decisions.

In 152 packed pages, genetics lecturers Ron Michaelis, Western Carolina University, and Kevin Sweet, Ohio State University, give advice on how genes affect our health, including diet, environment and lifestyle ; how to draw a genetic family tree, and identify genetic risks from relatives, close and distant . Based on previous scientific writings, the authors now want the public to know how it affects them, and how it will affect them in the future.

Ron Michaelis said: "Advances in genetics are revolutionising our approach to health and medicine, starting with our family tree, so we advise readers how to approach this in an informed way, including the patterns of inheritance, and risks among multiple children.
