Genetics from Laboratory to Society Reviews

'...provides a rich understanding of the social context and complexities of genetic testing, across a range of disorders and including both micro-level, family-specific aspects of genetic testing and the social, third-party areas of insurance and employment...I recommend it highly.' - Angus J. Clarke, Human Genetics
