Clinical Ophthalmic Genetics and Genomics provides an accessible, clinically-focused reference for the evolving field of Genetic Ophthalmology. This well-organised, easy-to-read textbook integrates key concepts with clinical practice and is designed to enhance effective learning and retention of complex material. It includes contributions from recognised leaders in the field and provides expert guidance on the complete spectrum of genetic ophthalmic disorders.
- A structured introductory section offering a practical guide to the processes involved in diagnosing patients with genetic ophthalmic disorders
- Expert guidance on the complete spectrum of genetic ophthalmic disorders from leading international clinicians and researchers
- Well-organised with streamlined, templated chapters and a user-friendly layout that provides quick access to clinically relevant information, and is designed to help ophthalmologists, geneticists, and genetic counsellors in the clinic room
Pediatric and adult ophthalmologists, human geneticists, genetic counselors, ophthalmology residents and trainees, medical geneticists, research students in ophthalmology and human genetics, medical students
