About this title

Synopsis

This text offers a comprehensive view of how problems are approached and solved with clinical genetics using carefully chosen case histories. A two-level approach has been used: cases illustrate basic genetic concepts, important ethical issues and common applications of modern molecular biological techniques in clinical practice; whilst detailed descriptions of topics related to, but not essential to the understanding of, the clinical problem are provided alongside, and clearly separated from, the main text.
