Review
From reviews of previous editions:
"No neurologist will care to function from now on without ready access to this book, and it will be consulted by all clinical geneticists."--Annals of Human Genetics
"Coherent, well organised, extremely well-documented work...A fine book to take to the clinic as well as the library."--New England Journal of Medicine
"As a comprehensive source of reference it is unrivalled...A unique compilation of great importance which sets out all the current information about genetic elements, markers and calculations of risk. No neurologist can afford to be without a copy close to hand."--Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery
and Psychiatry
"The strength of this book lies in the scholarly treatment of both old and new literature pertaining to familial neurological diseases. This book can heartily be recommended to the clinician seeking information on the genetics of neurological disease."--Brain
"Encyclopaedic coverage of the literature, ranging from major studies of larger populations to single families exhibiting obscure conditions."--Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases
"The best of its kind...with wonderfully succinct summaries and replete with over 200 pp. of references...outstanding value...It will deservedly find itself very widely used and referred to with pleasure, providing as it does so lucid and informative a guide to a complex and painful subject
matter."--Genetic Research
