  • Description

The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to the various aspects of clinical genetics that general practitioners, family physicians and primary health care professionals are most likely to encounter.  

This new edition will be completely revised and brought fully up to date by a new author. It will provide new content on a number of topics including lay support groups, new tests and methods in chromosomal analysis, an overview on risk interpretation, population screening programmes, genetics of cancer, prenatal diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders.

It will ensure that there is sufficiently detailed, up-to-date and useful information regarding especially the more common genetic conditions such as Huntington disease, cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis type 1, muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, familial breast cancer and familial colorectal cancer.

It will also include a fully updated glossary explaining new terminology covering the many new types of diagnostic tests now in use in genetics labs in the UK and the results of which may be encountered in general practice.

It will also provide detailed guidance to further reading, other resources and a selection of particularly helpful online databases/websites for finding appropriate and up-to-date information regarding a variety of different genetic conditions.
