Medical Genetics in Pediatric Practice is the pediatrician's primer for molecular biology, genetic testing, and the approach to a child with a suspected genetic disorder. This concise book guides the primary care physician through recognising genetic disorders, taking a complete genetic history, constructing a pedigree, and when to refer.

A glossary of genetic terms and a list of critical resources make this book a must have for all primary care physicians. The book includes images of common minor anomalies that should alert the physician to a possible genetic condition.
