| Summary |
"This easy-to-use guide is set to become the bible for clinical consultation in genetics. It covers the process of diagnosis, investigation, management, and counselling for patients. Most of the topics fit on to a double-page spread ensuring that the book can be quickly referred to in the clinic or hospital consultation." "The author's have used their experience to devise a practical clinical approach to genetic referrals, both out-patient and ward based. The most common Mendelian disorders, chromosomal disorders, congenital anomalies, and syndromes are all covered. In addition, there are chapters on familial cancer and pregnancy-related topics such as fetal anomalies, teratogens, and prenatal and pre-implantation diagnosis." "Where available, diagnostic criteria for specific conditions are included as well as contact details for support groups, a bibliography, and glossaries of terms used in genetics and dysmorphology."--BOOK JACKET |
