Product Description
The completely revised and updated New Edition of this definitive text—now in full color! Long known as the source to consult for guidance on diagnosis, prognosis, plan management, and genetic counseling, this easy-to-use reference focuses on the patterns of human defects caused by inborn errors in morphogenesis as opposed to defects caused by mechanical problems. It provides a wealth of information on normal and abnormal morphogenesis * minor anomalies and their relevance * clinical approaches to specific diagnoses * and normal standards of measurement for the entire spectrum of disorders. Each chapter includes a description of the specific abnormality—including occasional associated abnormalities—natural history, etiology, and references. On opposing pages are several descriptive photographs and line drawings of either an individual with the abnormality or specific features of the abnormality. * Provides over 1,450 photographs and illustrations to depict each malformation—many from the personal collections of Drs. Smith and Jones—to aid readers in diagnosis. * Uses a consistent chapter format to help readers quickly and easily find information on any given disorder * Offers the most current coverage available on existing disorders and their molecular basis, plus the very latest information on virtually any genetic or physiological malformation.

Recién comencé mi residencia en Genética Médica y uno de los libros recomendados es este. Sinceramente pensé que estaría mejor, lo compré sin revisar antes cualquiera de sus ediciones; aunque el libro hace revisión de un buen número de enfermedades genéticas, la información contenida en cada una es muy pobre, y no ayuda mucho en el estudio a menos que se quiera una revisión rápida de algo ya leído más ampliamente. Preferiría comprar otro por ese precio o algo más caro pero mejor.

Nice guidebook to have to help you study cases of human malformation. Each syndrome comes with text information and corresponding pictures. The pictures help you relate a particular syndrome with actual patients. It also has an index which shows some of the more common dysmorphic features that you may see and lists the syndromes that usually present with these features. The only drawback is that the information about some syndromes are sometimes lacking, so you will need another reference to expound on these cases.
