This book discusses the diagnosis and management of genetically determined diseases. Genetics are also discussed, but the major focus is on diagnosis. Patients with genetically determined disorders have clinical pictures that cross most of the boundaries of subspecialty practice, and are frequently seen by a variety of physicians. The pediatrician will often be the first to come in contact with these patients, but internists are increasingly concerned with these patients, especially those with inborn errors of metabolism. The hematologist may be the first to see a patient with Fanconi anemia, and the gynecologist, the patient with Turner's syndrome. In brief this book emphasizes the diagnosis of various genetic diseases in relation to different medical specialties.
