Great for giving clinical relevance for genetic disorders
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I didn't use T and T very often in my first year genetics class for medical school. That's probably b/c the expectations in the class weren't very high and we didn't need to reference a textbook often. But now that I am studying for USMLE boards Step I, I am happy that I have this book. The middle of the book offers thirty-three clinical case studies, which hit most of the big time genetic diseases. I enjoy reading the clinical vignette for each case. Furthermore, T and T does a good job at summarizing etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and management for each of these 33 diseases. So if you need a genetics book for a class, and you know you'll be studying for boards in the future, this might be a good book for your needs.
If you had one general genetics book, this would be it.

Thompson and Thompson is in my opinion, the best book of its kind out there. Many general texts have popped up in the last five or ten years that try to cover medical genetics broadly (a large topic of course) but T & T is the best. A more recent edition would be nice.
