OXF DESK REF CLIN GENET & GENOM 2E DRS C

Review from previous edition:
It is very refreshing to review a book written for clinicians by clinicians, which is in a format that reflects situations actually encountered in practice. Information provided by the referring doctor to a clinical geneticist or other specialist before a clinic or ward consultation is usually limited. This new text takes common referral indications and, in a standardized format that manages to be brief and clear without skimping on detail, reminds the clinician of diagnostic possibilities and strategies for investigation and management. This will allow the best possible use to be made of an individual consultation by both the patient and the doctor.
