Author Description

"Genetic Effects on Environmental Vulnerability to Disease is based on the final meeting of the Novartis Foundation Symposium Series (#293 Understanding How Gene Environment Interactions Work to Predict Disorder). Interwoven with transcripts of the lively discussions among researchers, the book offers a cutting-edge review of the methodological issues prevailing in this complex, multi-disciplinary field. A glossary is included to facilitate inter-disciplinary understanding, and Sir Michael Rutter's introduction and concluding remarks contribute to presenting scientific issues in an interesting, easily accessible manner." "This book will be of interest to epidemiologists, geneticists, developmental biologists, and researchers in psychiatric disorders, obesity, diabetes, cancer, respiratory diseases and cardiovascular disease."--BOOK JACKET.
