Genetics and Epigenetics of Genitourinary Diseases aims to provide a comprehensive collection of data on genetics and epigenetics in almost all genitourinary diseases for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students.

This book discusses several genetic and epigenetic changes like DNA methylation, mutations, single nucleotide polymorphisms, DNA rearrangements, chromosomal remodeling, microsatellite instability, and chromosomal instability (CIN) in genitourinary cancers.

This book is split into 18 chapters, beginning with the importance of genetics and epigenetics in genitourinary diseases. It then goes on to cover the genetics and epigenetics of various diseases and tumors. Certain chapters present novel techniques of next-generation sequencing (NGS). Furthermore, RNA-Seq is discussed as a sequencing technique that uses NGS to reveal the presence and quantity of RNA in a biological sample.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students in genetics and epigenetics who want to broaden their understanding of the field.

Reviews for Genetics and Epigenetics of Genitourinary Diseases

""...addresses genitourinary diseases, a broad group of conditions involving either the urinary tract, the reproductive tract, or both…. The purpose of this book is to collect information on genetic and epigenetic factors in genitourinary diseases in one volume as a broader understanding of genetic and epigenetic factors will improve clinical care and treatment and could lead to more personalized care of patients. This is a book for those medical personnel who specialize in urology…. begins with an introductory chapter, a chapter on genitourinary epidemiology, and two chapters on molecular biology, genetics, and epigenetics…. The focus of this book and the specialized treatment of its subject matter limit the potential audience for this book to medical specialists in urology,... covers important territory by focusing on genetic and epigenetic factors in genitourinary diseases and does so adequately."" ©Doody's Review Service, 2025, Mark F.
