Forest Books: A-Z Of Syndromes And Inherited Disorders 3rd Ed

The entire text has been extensively revised in an endeavour to keep up with the rapidly expanding knowledge associated with genetic disorders. An appendix provides a basic outline of genetics. This book provides a practical reference for carers and those with a syndrome or inherited disorder. Each section gives guidelines on the practical aspects of help that can be given and contact details for self-help groups where appropriate. Dr Patricia Gilbert writes extensively on child health, and was formerly Principal Clinical Medical Officer in South Warwickshire and Visiting Senior Lecturer in Child Health at Warwick University.
