Genetics For Dummies: 3rd Edition Free Audiobook Download by Lisa Spock Cgc, Ph.D.,Tara Rodden Robinson, Ph.D.

Genetic testing can be done in two different ways, either by collecting a sample of someone's DNA or gathering information about their family tree and then performing the test. Genetic testing has proven useful for determining if a person is at risk for certain diseases, such as Huntington's disease, but it also helps with many other aspects of life. There are a variety of genetic tests available from the cost-friendly 23andMe to the more expensive genetic tests conducted at private clinics that can help determine your family history, risk for genetic diseases, and more.

The newest edition of "Genetics for Dummies" is about to hit the shelves! I was lucky enough to hear the audiobook and review it, so you will be able to mine all of the knowledge this text has to offer. This is a must read, whether you are interested in learning more about genetics or simply want a better understanding of your family's medical history.

Genes might seem like they're simple, but they're actually incredibly complex and the book covers everything you need to know about the science. It teaches you how DNA is thought of as a code, it explains which genes are responsible for what traits and how this is used in everyday life.

This third edition of the popular book Genetics For Dummies has been updated with all-new information on the latest research in genetics. It has been revised for easier understanding and reflects Dr. Lisa Spock’s experience as a practicing geneticist herself. "I hope this manual will be effective in helping people make sense of what they are feeling and experiencing," she says.

As a practicing genetic counselor, I am often asked by patients about the genetics of their family members. I had to do a lot more research when I started my own family because I didn't have much information readily available. This new edition of Genetics For Dummies makes it easy for anyone who has little or no knowledge of genetics and how it affects their health to understand in an understandable way.
