This book highlights the relevance of genetics to anaesthesia and remedy the lack of familiarity with genetics and molecular biology. The relationship of genetics and other clinical specialties is often reciprocal: clinicians describe diseases and geneticists seek to explain them. Advances in recombinant technology have allowed elucidation of the causes of a prodigious number of single-gene diseases and provide clues to the genetic contribution to many other complex diseases.

This book highlights the relevance of genetics to anaesthesia and remedy the lack of familiarity with genetics and molecular biology. The relationship of genetics and other clinical specialties is often reciprocal: clinicians describe diseases and geneticists seek to explain them. Advances in recombinant technology have allowed elucidation of the causes of a prodigious number of single-gene diseases and provide clues to the genetic contribution to many other complex diseases. This book discusses the relationship of genetics and anaesthesiology and provides a practical basis for the perioperative management of patients with inherited disease. It covers the basics of gene structure, function and mutation, and current methodologies used to dissect these genetic elements. It covers the clinical features and perioperative care of several benchmark genetic diseases. It also covers the topic of molecular genetics and research.
