Description

The study of human chromosomes, at both the microscopic and molecular level, has helped characterize many genetic diseases. As understanding of the etiology and mechanisms of cytogenetic disorders continues to increase, more families at risk for these diseases may be given help through genetic counselling, accurate risk estimation, and prenatal diagnosis. This new edition of Human Cytogenetics: A Practical Approach serves as a fully comprehensive manual of established cytogenetic protocols together with relevant background information. Volume I concentrates entirely on laboratory techniques used in the study and diagnosis of non-malignant chromosome abnormalities. It is an invaluable compendium of basic information and more advanced specialist techniques in cytogenetics.

Description

The study of human chromosomes, both at the microscopic and molecular level, has enabled us to characterize many genetic diseases. As our understanding of the aetiology and mechanisms of cytogenetic disorders continues to increase, so more families at risk for these diseases may be given help through genetic counselling, accurate risk estimation, and prenatal diagnosis. This new edition of "Human Cytogenetics - A Practical Approach" seeks to serve as a fully comprehensive manual of established cytogenetic protocols together with relevant background information. Volume I concentrates entirely on laboratory techniques used in the study and diagnosis of non-malignant chromosome abnormalities. This book is a compendium of basic information for trainee cytogeneticists and experienced workers in the field should also find it a source of the more advanced and specialist techniques in current use.
