Human Cytogenetics: A Practical Approachvolume I: Constitutional Analysis

The study of human chromosomes, at both the microscopic and molecular level, has helped characterize many genetic diseases. As understanding of the etiology and mechanisms of cytogenetic disorders continues to increase, more families at risk for these diseases may be given help through genetic counselling, accurate risk estimation, and prenatal diagnosis. This new edition of Human Cytogenetics: A Practical Approach serves as a fully comprehensive manual of established cytogenetic protocols together with relevant ... Read More

The study of human chromosomes, at both the microscopic and molecular level, has helped characterize many genetic diseases. As understanding of the etiology and mechanisms of cytogenetic disorders continues to increase, more families at risk for these diseases may be given help through genetic counselling, accurate risk estimation, and prenatal diagnosis. This new edition of Human Cytogenetics: A Practical Approach serves as a fully comprehensive manual of established cytogenetic protocols together with relevant background information. Volume I concentrates entirely on laboratory techniques used in the study and diagnosis of non-malignant chromosome abnormalities. It is an invaluable compendium of basic information and more advanced specialist techniques in cytogenetics. Read Less
