The purpose of this book is to give neurologists and others a grounding in the basic concepts of molecular genetics. It surveys the neurological and neuromuscular diseases that have been studied using these techniques. The specific diseases discussed include Duchenne and myotonic muscular dystrophies, Huntington's disease, Tay-Sachs disease, Alzheimer's disease, phenylketonuria, and mental retardation. Coverage of the book's five parts ranges from the basics of molecular genetics to the social aspects, and a comprehensive glossary is included.
