Genetic Basis Of Growth And Development [Hardcover] [Apr 15, 2013] Allan Healey

It is believed that most cells in an organism carry the same genetic information. It is es- sential to consider genetic factors when di- agnosing the underlying cause for virtually all oral-facial anomalies and developmental variations, the importance of how genetic factors will affect the outcome of treatment is often not appreciated. This book provides the critical importance in clinical practice to un- derstand how genetic factors and their inter- action with environmental factors may affect facial growth.
