More DescriptionA medical genetics book which came into existence because of the lack of literature on multiple congenital anomaly syndromes, this study incorporates an approach to the patient with multiple anomalies. It deals with the underpinnings of the field of syndromology. Designed for students, residents, fellows, and physicians with an interest in syndromology, this book assumes some general understanding of the rudiments of both medicine and genetics. The author emphasizes the conceptual aspects of syndromology rather than provide an encyclopaedic treatment on specific syndromes -- a topic covered extensively in other textbooks. Since 1982, when the first edition of this monograph came out, the field has advanced dramatically. That is why Cohen has rewritten the entire book, and added new chapters on genetics, teratogens, and facial dysmorphology.
