Overview
In this newly updated, second edition of Molecular Diagnostics, notable practitioners describe how laboratory medicine is practiced today and illuminate how it will function tomorrow as the revolutionary advances afforded by molecular diagnostics become increasingly central to effective analysis. Proceeding from a discussion of elementary nucleic acid technology to a review of the more advanced techniques, the distinguished contributors lay the groundwork for a comprehensive understanding of their applications throughout clinical medicine. This new edition contains new chapters on bioinformatics. microarrays, methylation assays, FISH. laser capture microdissection, quality assurance, chimerism studies for bone marrow transplantation, and separate chapters on genetic counseling and ELSI (ethical, legal, and social issues). These new chapters represent developments in the past decade that have fundamentally changed the scope from molecular pathology to molecular diagnosis, highlighting the changing role of the clinical laboratorians who direct these efforts.

This is a great book to have handy for ready reference in this rapidly evolving field. While the reader may not use this reference daily, there is no question that it will be needed for those occasions when such testing is ordered and a clinical consultation between the clinical laboratory and the healthcare provider is necessary. - Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal ...the textbook of choice for anyone working in molecular diagnostics who wants to remain current with this rapidly changing field. -Clinical Laboratory International From Reviews of the First Edition... ...a very good introduction to the basic elements of molecular pathology...a clear, enjoyable read...an excellent discussion of methods. -Clinical Chemistry ...highly recommended...for those interested in clinical molecular diagnosis...will satisfy those who are more expert in certain areas of molecular diagnosis, but who have been unable to keep up with the wide range of recent advances in molecular diagnosis. -American Journal of Clinical Pathology ...gives a good theoretical background for those with little experience in this field. It is readable, comprehensive, and...up-to-date. -Journal of Clinical Pathology ...well written, comprehensive...should bring even the reader with limited background knowledge up to speed on what is a rapidly progressing field. -Trends in Molecular Medicine ...a timely and highly relevant book that will serve as a valuable resource to those practicing molecular diagnostics from the bench, as well as to basic and clinical scientists... -Endocrine News
