Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The purpose is to provide a reference for those interested ... in heritable disorders. ... The book is written for practicing molecular geneticists, but it would also be useful to laboratory medicine/pathology residents in training, molecular pathology or molecular diagnostics fellows, or clinical practitioners for whom this discipline would have great interest (i.e., pediatricians, genetic counselors, etc.)."
