Ion channels are membrane proteins that act as gated pathways for the movement of ions across cell membranes. They play essential roles in the physiology of all cells. In recent years, an ever-increasing number of human and animal diseases have been found to result from defects in ion channel function. Most of these diseases arise from mutations in the genes encoding ion channel proteins, and they are now referred to as the channelopathies.Ion Channels and Disease provides an informative and up-to-date account of our present understanding of ion channels and the molecular basis of i

This volume offers a comprehensive introduction to the burgeoning science of psychiatric genetics. Designed for clinical utility, the book gives a solid foundation for understanding the etiologies of such frequently encountered disorders as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and Alzheimer's disease. Throughout, the authors demonstrate how genetic knowledege can enhance clinical assessment, intervention and preventive efforts. Special emphasis is given to the interplay of genetic and environmental factors in the causation and expression of illness. Also covered are the tools and methods of genetic research, clinical and ethical issues raised by new genetic technologies and how to counsel clients and families about genetic risks.

The remarkably rapid growth of knowledge and practice in human and medical genetics raises significant questions about the social and ethical readiness of scientists, physicians, and others to make appropriate decisions concerning the utilization of this new genetic knowledge and technique. The continuing 'temptation' to engage in eugenic practices tracks all new moves in human genetics and construction of human genomes. This book will be of critical interest to historians, sociologists, and scientists who have concern and interest in the burgeoning field of human genetic studies and practices. Tracing the rapid growth of knowledge and practice in human and medical genetics, this book raises significant questions about the social and ethical readiness of scientists, physicians, and others to make appropriate decisions concerning the utilization of this new genetic knowledge and technique.
