Clinical Applications of Immunogenetics: Immunogenetics: A Molecular and Clinical Overview, Volume II provides readers with an exclusive, updated overview of scientific knowledge, achievements and findings in the field of immunogenetics. In thirteen chapters, the book gives insights in new advancements and approaches in viral and autoimmune diseases. Specific chapters are dedicated to immunogenetic mechanisms in the treatment of immune disorders, cancer, neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, other chapters cover immunogenomics in precision medicine, clinical medicine and transplantation. Finally, a special chapter, COVID-19: A novel challenge to human immune-genetic machinery, updates on thoughts surrounding the pandemic. - Contains exclusive information about global research on immunogenetics - Provides a solid foundation to researchers wanting to work on immunogenetics and their application in different autoimmune, viral and infectious diseases - Delivers information in a meticulous, attractive manner using pictures, illustrations and tables - Gives insights into immunogenetics and its utility in therapeutics
