Provides coverage of malignant and non-malignant disease, anaemias, blood transfusion, and molecular therapeutics. Each article summarises the impact made by molecular research on our understanding of the pathogenesis of the disorder, and highlights the molecular strategies that exist, or are being currently investigated, both therapeutically and for investigative purposes. Presented in a readable style with clear two-colour line diagrams, this text summarises the enormous impact that molecular biology has already had on the clinical practice of haematology, and identifies opportunities in clinical care in the future. This book provides essential reading for those with minimal exposure to, or understanding of, molecular biological techniques. There is an extensive glossary and each chapter is written with the non-specialist in mind.
