Description

This classic encyclopaedic work has been thoroughly updated and expanded for this long awaited new edition. It describes the range of features, epidemiology, mode of inheritance, and pathogenesis of nearly 700 genetic syndromes. Uniquely comprehensive, it depicts the clinical features of all genetic disorders which are known to affect the head and neck. It contains over 2300 illustrations. The authors make a clear distinction between doubtful and authentic cases, and bibliographies accompany each syndrome to encourage further research. It is reorganized, completely rewritten, and greatly expanded version for this edition.
