Chromosomal Abnormalities and Genetic Counseling by John J. Nelson (Mobile, Alabama)

4 Stars
November 26, 2008
A good book, I reviewed it in the context of a pathology resident. I used it in conjunction with the Cytogenetics chapter in Henry's. Some parts were fairly difficult to grasp, such as the numerous literature references with in vitro fertilization studies. The book is pretty well written, even if you only have a basic understanding of cytogenetics as I did. I thought the chromosomal breakage syndrome chapter was good, with good photos. Overall, worth the money and the book is fairly high quality, durable pages that facilitates note taking in the margins.

Outstanding by Dr. Schulze (Germany)

One of the most important books you will need for education in genetic counselling and interpretation of cytogenetic results. Its a pleasure to read and additionally, delivers insight into psychological problems rising from integration of cytogenetically "abnormal" individuals in the human society.
