Review Issues In Association Analysis: Human Heredity 2004:issue #3-4 (Human heredity) / S Karger Pub:This special issue of Human Heredity discusses a wide range of current topics related to genetic disease association analysis. Topics covered include phenotype definition, genotype-phenotype correlation, and strategies for managing phenotypic data, multipoint methods for genotype error detection, as well as the robustness of genomic control methods for case/control association in admixed populations. Further addressed are the relative costs for different types of genotype errors in genetic model-based association, a comprehensive review of optimal SNP marker selection in disease association, and the comparative information of multiple SNPs and single microsatellites. Anyone involved in complex genetic research, i. e. clinicians, geneticists and statistical geneticists, will find guidance on study design, on how to evaluate phenotypes used in linkage and association findings, and on how to avoid pitfalls that typically arise in genetic studies.

Review The Development of Human Gene Therapy (Cold Spring Harbor Monograph Series) / Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press:The idea of human gene therapy was accepted by the medical community and society at large long before believable clinical benefits began to emerge. In this book, some of the field’s most distinguished contributors chronicle the evolution of this momentous direction for medicine, illustrating how imaginative concepts shaped the development of technologies and brought the daring new idea to its current position of imminent practical success. This is a book designed to endure as clinical advances accumulate, a clear-eyed work of reference that will anchor the further development of this revolution in therapy. It is an essential addition to libraries of clinical medicine, biotechnology, and public policy, and a resource that no laboratory investigator with an interest in the biology of gene transfer should be without.

Review Cortex and Mind: Unifying Cognition / Oxford University Press, USA:This book presents a unique synthesis of the current neuroscience of cognition by one of the world's authorities in the field. The guiding principle to this synthesis is the tenet that the entirety of our knowledge is encoded by relations, and thus by connections, in neuronal networks of our cerebral cortex. Cognitive networks develop by experience on a base of widely dispersed modular cell assemblies representing elementary sensations and movements. As they develop cognitive networks organize themselves hierarchically by order of complexity or abstraction of their content. Because networks intersect profusely, sharing commong nodes, a neuronal assembly anywhere in the cortex can be part of many networks, and therefore many items of knowledge. All cognitive functions consist of neural transactions within and between cognitive networks. After reviewing the neurobiology and architecture of cortical networks (also named cognits), the author undertakes a systematic study of cortical dynamics in each of the major cognitive functions-perception, memory, attention, language, and intelligence. In this study, he makes use of a large body of evidence from a variety of methodologies, in the brain of the human as well as the nonhuman primate. The outcome of his interdisciplinary endeavor is the emergence of a structural and dynamic order in the cerebral cortex that, though still sketchy and fragmentary, mirrors with remarkable fidelity the order in the human mind.

Review Genetics and Public Health in the 21st Century: Using Genetic Information to Improve Health and Prevent Disease / Oxford University Press, USA:With the accelerating discovery of human genes, public health professionals are increasingly confronted with a large body of scientific information that will guide public health action. Because the broad mission of public health is to fulfill society's interest in assuring conditions in which people can be healthy, the integration of new genetic information in public health research, policy and program development is unavoidable. Public health leadership is urgently needed to use genetic information to improve health and prevent disease, and to address ethical, legal and social issues resulting from inappropriate use of such information. In the not too-distant future, disease prevention and health promotion programs will routinely consider whether or not to use genetic information to help target behavioral, medical or environmental intervention activities in order to maximize benefit and minimize costs and harm to individuals. In anticipation of the expected growth at the interface of genetics and public health, this book delineates a framework for the integration of advances in human genetics into public health practice. It provides a comprehensive review of public health genetics, including chapters on important general issues such as newborn and other genetic screening, the delivery of genetic services, and the ethical, legal and social implications of the use of genetics within public health. It also reviews relevant clinical topics, the historical background, cross-cultural aspects, and communication issues. Contributors come from a wide range of fields including epidemiology, biostatistics, health policy and management, health services research, behavioral and social sciences, ethics, law, health economics, and laboratory sciences.

Review Risk Communication In Familial Cancer (Community Genetics) / Not Avail:Specific consultations to inform people about the cancer risks possibly running in their family is a newly emerging form of clinical practice. In this special issue, public health, medical and psycho-social researchers cover some of the issues at stake during the risk communication process for familial breast, ovarian and colon cancer. The authors belong to a collaborative network set up within the framework of a European project focusing on cancer risk communication. Issues discussed include a comparison of the genetic services for breast and colon cancer provided by seven European centres, the reactions of general practitioners, nurses and midwives to breast cancer genetic information, and clinical experience with presenting risks in terms of odds. Further described are the sources of information and the social interactions of women during their breast/ovarian cancer genetic testing as well as the link between breast self-examination and anxiety in women from high-risk families.

Review The Dream of the Perfect Child / Indiana University Press:". should be embraced for the intelligence and depth it brings to the dialogue over reproductive genetics. Rothschild's amply documented historical overview, coupled with her keen observations of the role of feminism and bioethics in the burgeoning practice of reproductive medicine, commends her work to any interested observer of technology and culture. " -Technology and Culture, Jan. 2007 Every parent wants a healthy, normal child, and scientific and technological advances have now made this increasingly possible to achieve. But progress comes with a price. Tracing its roots from Enlightenment thought through the biological discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries, Joan Rothschild shows how the dream of human perfectibility masks a darker motivation to eliminate all that does not meet its increasingly heightened standards. Joan Rothschild points to the thousands of decisions about prenatal testing that are made each day in the doctor's office, the context in which they occur, and how they add up to the discourse of the perfect-and imperfect-child. [+]She argues that the mainstream bioethics community has been ineffective in raising appropriate questions, resulting in support for the status quo. Drawing on counter-voices from medicine and feminist ethics, as well as from pregnant women and people with disabilities, The Dream of the Perfect Child reevaluates the uses of genetics and prenatal testing. Ultimately, the goal is to change reproductive medical practice and thereby transform the dream.
