This updated edition includes the latest information on seminal topics such as prenatal diagnosis, genome and exome sequencing, public health genetics, genetic counseling, and management and treatment strategies. This comprehensive yet practical resource emphasizes theory and research fundamentals related to applications of medical genetics across the full spectrum of inherited disorders and applications in medicine more broadly.
Users will find comprehensive sections on medical genetics applied to a range of developmental disorders and an emphasis on understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying these disorders, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutics that make use of current genomic technologies and translational studies. Updated chapters on human developmental genetics as well as the genetics of sexual development, clefting, dental, and craniofacial syndromes, craniosynostosis, rasopathies, sex-chromosome abnormalities, and autosomal deletions, among other disorders are included.
- Revised and up-to-date, this volume thoroughly addresses medical genetics and genomics as applied to developmental disorders, with an emphasis on understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying these disorders, diagnostic approaches, and treatment methods
- Provides genetic researchers, students and health professionals with an in-depth examination of the genetic basis of a range of developmental disorders, including clefting, dental, and craniofacial syndromes, craniosynostosis, rasopathies, sex-chromosome abnormalities, and autosomal deletions, among others
- Includes color images supporting identification, concept illustration, and method processing
- Features contributions by leading international researchers and practitioners of medical genetics
- Presents a robust companion website that offers further teaching tools and links to outside resources and articles
Students, physicians, and researchers in the field of medical genetics and personalized medicine, medical practitioners and researchers specializing in developmental disorders, molecular medicine, and cytogenetics, as well as genetic diagnostics and therapy in these and related disciplines, genetic counselors, practitioners in newborn medicine and developmental pediatrics
