Summary: "a wealth of practical information"
Review: Cassidy and Allanson have assembled a talented group of authors to address the more common genetic disorders. The chapters are extremely well organized and each emphasizes not only diagnostic techniques and differential diagnosis, but also patient management. The generalist will find a wealth of practical information readily available and accessible. The clinical geneticist will discover and rediscover valuable "pearls" within this text. --Edward R.B. McCabe, Department of Pediatrics, Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA
