Medical and Health Genomics of South Asia, a new volume in the Genomic and Precision Medicine in Clinical Practice series, offers a thorough discussion of medical genomics as applied across South Asian nations, from India to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, as well as in South Asian populations abroad. Here, global chapter authors consider genomic variation and the population heterogeneity of genetic, infectious, and lifestyle diseases in South Asia, along with successful modes of population health management for these inherited disorders and other applications of clinical genomics for improved individual health in the region. Adopting an applied approach, this book first reviews basic genomic models and population study formats, as well as the anthropological and genetic history of South Asia. The following sections examine genomic epidemiology and population health in the South Asian context; examples of genomic medicine's use in combating major health challenges in the region; genomic healthcare infrastructure; and related social, ethical, legal, and economic aspects central to impactful genomic medicine.
