The announcement that we had decoded the human genome in 2000 ushered in a new and unique era in biomedical research and clinical medicine. This Third Edition of Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine focuses, as in the past two editions, on the essentials of sexual dimorphism in human physiology and pathophysiology, but emphasizes the latest information about molecular biology and genomic science in a variety of disciplines. Thus, this edition is a departure from the previous two; the editor solicited individual manuscripts from innovative scientists in a variety of fields rather than the traditional arrangement of sections devoted to the various subspecialties of medicine edited by section chiefs. Wherever it was available, these authors incorporated the latest information about the impact of the genome and the elements that modify its expression on human physiology and illness. All chapters progress translationally from basic science to the clinical applications of gender-specific therapy and suggest the most important topics for future investigation.
This book is essential reading for all biomedical investigators and medical educators involved in gender-specific medicine. It will also be useful for primary care practitioners who need information about the importance of sex and gender in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness.
Winner of the 2018 PROSE Award in Clinical Medicine from the Association of American Publishers!
- Outlines sex-specific differences in normal human function and explains the impact of age, hormones, and environment on the incidence and outcome of illness
- Reflects the latest information about the molecular basis of the sexual dimorphism in human physiology and the experience of disease
- Reviews the implications of our ever-improving ability to describe the genetic basis of vulnerability to disease and our capacity to alter the genome itself
- Illustrates the importance of new NIH guidelines that urge the inclusion of sex as a variable in research protocols

"The name Marianne Legato has become almost synonymous with Gender and Sex-specific Medicine. She was founder and Editor-in Chief of the first scientific journal dedicated to this new science (and has recently founded a new journal – “Gender and the Genome). She was and is Editor-in-Chief of the first textbook on Gender Medicine, which appears now in the present third edition and she has been a scout in promoting Gender Medicine throughout the world. Her books have been eye-openers for many of us and this new edition of Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine is again a breakthrough. It includes carefully chosen contributions from leading scholars, researchers and clinicians from all over the globe, who present the state-of-the-art in their respective fields. What "The Harrison" is for Internal Medicine, what "The Williams" is for Obstetrics and what the "The DSM-5" is for Psychiatry, "The Legato" is for Gender Medicine – an absolutely essential Must Have and Must Read for any professional who deals with the differences in physiology and pathophysiology between males and females." --Marek Glezerman, MD, Professor Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chairman of the Ethics Committee, Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University
"The new Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine, edited by Dr. Marianne Legato from Columbia University, is a compilation of the most up-to-date topics in sex and gender difference research. The chapters cover the major genomic, cellular, molecular and whole body “hot topics in the field. In addition, there are innovative pieces such as “Robots and Gender by Tatsuya Nomura. Get this book and keep it on your shelf as a ready reference for state-of-the-art research in sex and gender differences that will inspire current and future scientists for years to come." --Jane F. Reckelhoff, PhD, Billy S.
