Produktbeschreibung

Current therapies for most human genetic diseases are inadequate. In response to the need for effective treatment, modern molecular genetics is providing tools for an unprecedented new approach to the treatment of diseases; e.g. the direct manipulation of mutant genes or the input on new therapeutic genes. This volume provides an overview on all these interdisciplinary aspects.
