A concise account of the theory and practice of genetic counselling for clinicians in both hospital and family practice.
The counselling of those at risk from inherited disorders forms an integral part of medicine, and huge advances are continually being made in this area of practice. The 5th edition of 'Practical Genetic Counselling' provides clinicians with an invaluable, up-to-date guide through the deluge of new information.
New areas of coverage include: new genetic developments and society - new regulatory bodies, effects of insurance; genetic testing for late onset diseases; genetic advances in common disorders - use of and dangers of susceptibility testing; new chromosome and molecular techniques; the human genome project and implications for genetic counselling; preimplantation genetic diagnosis; population screening for genetic disorders; developmental genes and birth defects. New areas featured in the second section of the book include: trinucleotide repeat disorders and inherited neurological diseases; molecular basis of bone and connective tissue disorders; new genes isolated for inherited deafness and blindness; genetics and cancer (completely rewritten to include new developments in familial breast and blood cancer); and congenital heart disease and chromosome defects.
