Review
The authors of [this book] deserve to be congratulated for achieving the impossible...Overall this book is a winner and is a must for every clinical genetics department. This is arguably the most important book ever published for trainees in genetics...[but] can be considered as an extremely useful reference source to any genetics physician...this book is a 'peripheral brain' and 'lifesaver' for geneticists in many situations! (Ulster Medical Journal Vol 75, no 3)
If there was a Booker Prize for new texts on clinical genetics, then the winner this year would be a foregone conclusion. No one else could possibly come up with and entry as good as this. ... the definitive hands-on guide to clinical genetics. ... The breadth and depth of information provided is remarkable. ... As a practical guide to the specialty of clinical genetics this book has no match, and overall it represents an awesome achievement. How did the authors manage to acquire and collate all this knowledge? Where did they find all this information? ... If your department can only afford one book this year, make it this one. Better still, buy your own copy and keep it hidden because it is going to be much in demand. (BMJ)
This is an amazing compilation of genetic knowledge. It provides a fantastic tool for clinical geneticists who require a fast review of specific genetic subjects while performing clinical consultations. ... Condensation of the amount of information included in this wonderful book could not be done any better. ... This is a most-have tool for all clinical geneticists who require quick and specific reviews in clinical practice. ... Dr Firth and Hurst have achieved a tremendous goal. They have been able to summarize a tremendous amount of information in clinical genetics and convert it to an excellent tool for the practice of the specialty. It could not be done any better. The magnificent work done suggests that as the field of clinical genetics expands, further editions will be needed. This is a must have book, and a second edition would be expected. (Doody's Journal)
