Author Description
Thoroughly revised for the paperback edition, this practical volume describes the different modes of transmission of neurological conditions and how they may be identified, and assesses the risk of recurrence. The text is illustrated with photographs of representative clinical conditions and features extensive reference to the existing literature of genetic disorderss, both rare and common. From reviews of the cloth: "Well worth owning....An encyclopedic reference."--Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. "Coherent, well-organized, extremely well-documented...with 134 pages of references....A fine book to take to the clinic, as well as the library."--The New England Journal of Medicine
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates the complex intersection of genetic inheritance patterns and the clinical manifestation of neurological disorders. Dr. Michael Baraitser, a recognized authority in medical genetics, provides a systematic framework for identifying transmission modes and calculating recurrence risks. The text synthesizes clinical observation with existing genetic literature to offer a comprehensive diagnostic resource for practitioners.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Analysis of various transmission modes for neurological conditions
- Clinical identification methodologies for genetic disorders
- Recurrence risk assessment protocols
- Extensive bibliographic references for further research
- Photographic documentation of representative clinical conditions
Scope Limits
- Does not provide experimental laboratory protocols for gene sequencing
- Focuses primarily on clinical identification rather than therapeutic intervention
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Medical professionals and reviewers frequently cite this work as an encyclopedic and well-organized reference for clinical settings. Experts highlight the extensive documentation and practical utility of the text as a foundational resource for neurologists and geneticists.
