This book reviews the rapidly developing field medical genetics from theories to its implications for clinical practice. This book covers the whole field of medical genetics from a general overview of the profession to details of effective treatment of patients with common and esoteric genetic disorders--including birth defects, hearing loss, oro-facial clefting, craiosynostosis, and much more.
