The Molecular Genetic Basis of Pediatric Disorders
The number of genetic conditions that have been mapped or in which the causative gene has been isolated is vast. This work restricts coverage to the more common single-gene disorders that are likely to be encountered in general pediatric practice.
The Molecular Genetic Basis of Endocrinological Disorders
This text was conceived as a tool to address the problems encountered by an endocrinologist when sureveying the wealth of information available from the past two decades of genetic research. The ability to pinpoint genetic defects responsible for a specific endocrine disorder opens the possibility of faster and simpler diagnosis, improved understanding of disease mechanisms, and development of new treatment modalities. However, the abundance of information attained may be so overwhelming that the practicing physician may be unable to apply this knowledge to the daily routine of clinical practice.
