Author Description

Here is a comprehensive study of genetically determined conditions that affect the central and peripheral nervous system. The emphasis is on the diagnosis, mode of inheritance, and recurrence risks. Neurological conditions which have recently been localized to specific places on the genome are discussed at the molecular level, and new DNA based sciences are covered from the perspective of the neurologist. This complete guide provides references to the original literature in order to help the clinician in the event of a conflict.
