The counselling of those at risk from inherited disorders forms an integral and expanding part of medicine, and advances are continually being made in this area of practice. Increasingly, common disorders are known to have a genetic component, and this book provides invaluable up-to-date guidance through the profusion of new information, and the associated psychosocial and ethical considerations and concerns. Changes for the sixth edition include full coverage of the implications of the human genome project for clinical genetic practice, the expanding societal implications of human genetics, and increased coverage of genetics and common diseases, including cancer genetics. The layout of the book has been much improved and modernized, with line illustrations redrawn throughout.

A "bedside" manual for genetic counselors.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical Genetic Counseling (Paperback)
An updated, easy to use handbook which deals with the most common genetic disorders, their risk to be transmitted and their mode of inheritance. The book is easy to use and the tabels are simple and clear. However some additional information regarding cancer genetics could be helpful.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good update,

This review is from: Practical Genetic Counseling (Paperback)
The tables I use most often seem to have the same data, but nice to have an update after several years.
