This book is written based on the Indian nursing council curriculum of under graduate and post Graduate nursing students. Genetics is for nursing students is a critical part of their curriculum, as because they find it difficult to understand its full text within limited time period. Mostly genetic books are written by non-nursing teachers, where nursing applications are not included and also written with high configuration of concept which makes students difficult to digest in their level of curriculum with less hours, but this book are a simplified one and based on their syllabus, which will help them to analyze the basic and real concept of human genetics in their nursing practice. This edition of book comprises the basic concept of human genetics, its branches, chromosome, genes, genetic and chromosomal disorders, key role of nurses in genetics area and various services to genetics and genetic counseling and role of nurse in genetic counseling. I hope therefore that this text would remain of value to all those involved in medical genetics.
