Elements of Medical Genetics and Counseling

More than half a century has passed since the teaching and research in various branches of genetics in Iran. In recent years, information technology has increased the growth and spread of genetic knowledge; this book also utilizes these technologies to meet the needs of life science students and provide students with useful information about history, counseling, genetic engineering, and prenatal diagnosis. The inclusion of a topic on ethics in medical genetics by Dr. Dariush Farhoud, who has formally, scientifically, continuously, and purposefully provided genetic education, research, and counseling services for the first time in Iran, adds to the value of the book.
