With its beautiful illustrations and simple explanations, this book teaches children (and adults alike!) about the anatomy and physiology of genes and gene expression, as well as different types of genetic disorders and treatments. This can be a baby shower gift, birthday gift, learning resource for kids, white elephant gift for adults, or gag gift for medical students. This installment of the Medical School for Kids book series is the best way to introduce basic concepts in medical genetics and genomics to our next generation of doctors.
In this book, you will learn about...

... and more!
