Published in 1960, the first edition of the book titled “The Metabolic Basis of Inherited Disease” raised much interest among the specialists in the human inherit ed diseases field. The current eighth edition is significant ly different from its predecessors. First of all the extent of the book is impressive. The book consists of 4 volumes with the total number of over 7000 pages. There are 30 parts, containing 255 chapters. All this material is written by a large international group of authors, with the total number of over 500 contributors. The editorial team of the book also has increased, now including three new editors, Barton Childs, Kenneth Kinzler, and Bert Vogelstein. Volume I consists of seven parts and includes 76 chapters. Parts 1, 2 and 3 contain “Introduction”, “Perspectives” and general themes about the “Human Genome” project, histocompatibility complex, human genetic mutations and models of animal (mice) inherited diseases. There are also chapters devoted to the nature and mechanism of genetic mutations, and biogenesis of membranes and organelles. Part 4 is devoted to cancer. Reviewed are such ques tions as main concepts in cancer genetics, chromosome changes, cellular cycle of cancer cells and types cancer tumors: kidney carcinoma, skin cancer, breast cancer, brain, lungs, prostate and other organs and tissues. Part 5 concludes the data about chromosomes, molecular cytogenetics and chromosome linked diseases (Down syndrome, syndrome of fragile X chromosome). Part 6 considers the clinical phenotypes of diseases and their diagnosis and algorithms. Part 7 analyses disorders of carbohydrate metabo lism. Different types of diabetes are characterized as well as diseases consistent with fructose and lactose metabolic disorders, galactosemia, glycogenosis, and diseases asso ciated with disorders of disaccharide metabolism in the colon. The second volume of the book begins with part 8, which contains the chapters elucidating disorders of amino acid metabolism. Among those diseases the focus is done on hyperphenylalaninemia, hypertyrosinemia, disorders in the metabolism of histidine, proline, oxypro line and ornithine, lysine, and glycine. Part 9 summarizes the data about disorders of organ ic acid metabolism. There is information about alcap tonuria, disorders in propionate and methyl malonate metabolism, glutathione synthetase deficiency and disor ders of glycerol metabolism. Part 10 gives the characteristics of mitochondrial functions disorders. The chapters in part 11 are focused on the diseases associated with disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism. Xanthinuria, Lesch Nyhan disease, ade nine phosphoribosyl transferase and adenosine deami nase deficiency, and other pathologies are also character ized. Part 12 discusses lipid metabolism under normal conditions and in inherited pathology. Chapters of this part contain the description of blood plasma lipoprotein structure and metabolism, various types of familial lipoprotein lipase deficiencies, diseases caused by bile acids biosynthesis deficiency, and other diseases. Part 13 characterizes the diseases identified with dis orders of porphyrin metabolism. Among those the authors review disorders of heme biosynthesis and disor ders of bilirubin metabolism. Part 14 contains 3 chapters about disorders of metal metabolism and transport. Described are diseases caused by disorders of copper transport, inherited hemochro matosis, and sulfite oxidase and molybdenum cofactor deficiency. Part 15 includes the chapters concerning the diseases caused by disorders of peroxisome biogenesis, deficiency of a number of enzymes in these cellular organelles. X Linked adrenoleukodystrophy, Refsum disease and pri mary hyperoxaluria are also described. Volume III of the book includes the large part 16, which is dedicated to lysosomal diseases. Such disorders as mucopolysaccharidoses, type II glycogenosis, glyco proteinoses, glycolipidoses, and others are discussed in the 21st chapter. Parts 17 and 18 describe disorders in vitamin and hormone metabolism accordingly. Part 19 is about blood and homeostasis. Here are chapters about anticoagulating protein C, the disorders of fibrinogen and factor XIII metabolism, about hemo philia A and B, antithrombin deficiency, disorders in fib The Metabolic and Molecular Bases of Inherited Disease
