Emery and Rimoin’s Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics: Developmental Disorders

Emery and Rimoin's Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics: Developmental Disorders, Seventh Edition is a comprehensive yet practical resource for clinicians integrating genetics into medical practice.

This updated edition includes the latest information on prenatal diagnosis, genome and exome sequencing, public health genetics, genetic counseling, and management and treatment strategies.

The book emphasizes theory and research fundamentals related to applications of medical genetics across a range of inherited disorders, including clefting, dental, and craniofacial syndromes, craniosynostosis, rasopathies, sex-chromosome abnormalities, and autosomal deletions.

With an emphasis on understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying these disorders, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutics that make use of current genomic technologies and translational studies, this volume thoroughly addresses medical genetics and genomics as applied to developmental disorders.
