The core function of the genetics clinic has largely not changed despite the transition from traditional cytogenetics to molecular karyotyping and the nearly daily discovery of new deletion and duplication diseases .

Medical geneticists and genetic counselors provide explanations for the “unexplainable” assisting families in understanding the causes of anomalies and whether they are likely to recur . The essential resource for genetics professionals to understand both chromosome disorders and the clinical concerns of the families they affect is Chromosome Abnormalities and Genetic Counseling .

This classic publication is more than simply a reference; it is a manual for how to think about these problems , even as our technical understanding of them continues to develop . It combines an introduction to these disorders with the most recent approach to their best treatment approaches . This version of Chromosome Abnormalities and Genetic Counseling is completely revised while maintaining the warmth and voice that have made it required reading for professionals across medical genetics . It marks a significant improvement in clinical comprehension and communication . As always, it is fundamental reading for the field .
