Offers information on polymorphisms in cytokine genes. This book discusses haplotype structures and linkage disequilibrium patterns in cytokine gene loci; functional biological effects of polymorphisms; and genetic associations with disease. It documents polymorphisms in the most important cytokine genes, or gene clusters.

Addressing the question of what constitutes a face, this book explores eight perspectives on the face - the evolutionary; the developmental; the anatomic; the dysmorphic and genetic; the surgical; the psychological; the sociocultural; and the artistic. It is useful for biologists, genetecists, plastic surgeons, craniofacial surgeons, and others.
