The Genetics of Neurological Disorders

Many diseases of the nervous system are difficult to treat but can be prevented when we have adequate genetic information. This new edition continues to provide comprehensive coverage of the genetics of neurological disorders. It conveys practical clinical advice to neurologists, geneticists and paediatricians, emphasising diagnosis, mode of inheritance and recurrence risks, to enable them to understand clinical situations and counsel correctly. Michael Baraitser is an expert in this field, and this edition includes recent advances in molecular genetics and the newest discoveries in gene location and identification.
