Is It in Your Genes?: The Influence of Genes on Common Disorders and Diseases that Affect You and Your Family (Handbooks) Paperback – April 5, 2004

tremendously interesting book. Very well written. Heavy science, although in an easily understood story.

Philip R. Reilly packs a lot of punch into this book. The clear cut organization is set to represent the human life cycle-from pregnancy to adulthood. This makes it easy to find whatever disorder you are interested in learning about. Despite his many years of medical experience, Reilly uses a language that is easy to understand and follow. There are tables and charts on every couple of pages that help contribute to the understanding of whatever disorder he is on. This book is very accurate and up to date (due to its recent publication date). I checked this book out from the Oklahoma State University library and have enjoyed browsing through each disorder and learning something from every one.
