Features: This textbook draws on the strengths of existing domestic materials and, in accordance with the requirements of the editorial meeting, strives for the unity of ideological depth, scientific rigor, inspiration, advancement, and practicality to meet the needs of eight-year and seven-year teaching programs. It reflects the new knowledge and achievements in the field of medical genetics and embodies the spirit of medicine in the 21st century. Medical genetics carries a dual mission: on the one hand, it must identify susceptible populations at the public health level to implement educational and control measures for disease prevention; on the other hand, it must provide a scientific basis for personalized disease treatment at the interface of clinical medicine. Additionally, the establishment and refinement of ethical and managerial principles aligned with universal human values are urgently needed. Therefore, it can be anticipated that the future of medical genetics will not only involve the refinement of theory and the transmission of knowledge but will also be a practical application of medicine, grounded in modern biology and biotechnology. This necessitates the formulation of favorable policies and relevant systems in the discipline layout of basic and clinical medicine, talent cultivation, and qualification certification.
