Synopsis

The completely revised and updated new edition of this definitive text - now in full color! Long known as the source to consult for guidance on diagnosis, prognosis, plan management, and genetic counseling, this easy-to-use reference focuses on the patterns of human defects caused by inborn errors in morphogenesis as opposed to defects caused by mechanical problems. It provides: a wealth of information on normal and abnormal morphogenesis; minor anomalies and their relevance; clinical approaches to specific diagnoses; and, normal standards of measurement for the entire spectrum of disorders. Each chapter includes a description of the specific abnormality - including occasional associated abnormalities - natural history, etiology, and references. On opposing pages are several descriptive photographs and line drawings of either an individual with the abnormality or specific features of the abnormality.
