Nearly two hundred case-based flash cards provide a fun, fast way for students to review the essentials of biochemistry and genetics

Biochemistry and Genetics Flash Cards, Third Edition feature a clinical vignette on one side, with key disease facts such as etiology, pathology/pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment on the flip side of the card. They offer a concise, yet complete review of the subject and are valuable for the biochemistry and genetics shelf exam as well as the USMLE Step 1. The author has carefully selected the most board-relevant content, with a strong focus on the clinical aspects of the subject.

* Introduction cards appear at the beginning of each section to refresh knowledge of basic principles
* Important disease facts are highlighted for rapid review
* Perfect for disease comparisons
