A valuable resource for clinical consultation in genetics, this resource covers the process of diagnosis, investigation, management and counseling for patients. Oxford Desk Reference – Clinical Genetics facilitates planning of investigations for a specific clinical problem and ensures that appropriate investigations have been requested while featuring topics including those most frequently referred to a geneticist for out-patient consult.
Where available, diagnostic criteria for specific conditions are included as well as contact details for support groups. This e-book is well illustrated and includes a current bibliography and glossaries of terms used in genetics and dysmorphology.
