Genetic Disorders and the Fetus

THE LATEST EDITION OF THE DEFINITIVE RESOURCE ON PRENATAL GENETIC DIAGNOSIS

The eighth edition of Genetic Disorders and the Fetus, written and edited by Aubrey and Jeff M. Milunsky, is the major repository of knowledge, guidance, and perspective on the subject. Leading experts from nine countries have shared their vast experience, recommendations, and wisdom in this text with 37 chapters filled with tables, figures, and images. Heavily referenced and used worldwide, this volume will once again prove valuable to obstetricians, clinical and biochemical geneticists, and genetic counselors, neonatologists, pediatricians, radiologists, ethicists, and all interested in pregnancy care, public health, policy, and law.

New advances in diagnosis, imaging, fetal surgery, and gene therapy complement the fully updated chapters on all aspects of prenatal and preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
