What is Genetic Disorders and the Fetus : Diagnosis, Prevention, and Treatment about?

Topics range from the prenatal diagnosis and screening of chromosomal, biochemical, and multifactorial disorders to preimplantation genetic diagnosis and noninvasive prenatal diagnostic methods that involve the analysis of fetal cells and cell-free nucleic acids in the maternal circulation. The outstanding chapters on genetic counseling, chromosomal disorders and their detection through the screening of maternal serum, and molecular cytogenetic methods form the core of this well-designed book. The attention given particularly to the predictive prenatal diagnosis of severe adult-onset genetic disorders, to issues raised by the use of early amniocentesis, and to the recent recognition of the late-onset tremor-ataxia syndrome in male carriers of the fragile X syndrome bring the book up to date. Finally, by including a chapter on fetal infection, the author extends the coverage of topics to nongenetic disorders
