Genetics for Endocrinologists is a convenient reference guide to help clinicians apply the wealth of new genetic information to practical aspects of diagnosis and genetic counseling for endocrine patients and their families. Concise summaries of more than 100 endocrine disorders and syndromes emphasize new developments in understanding the genetic basis and mechanism of these conditions. Each entry includes references to review articles and other recent citations from the medical literature. Diagrams of metabolic pathways and disease mechanisms provide helpful summaries, while the glossary is a 'user-friendly' introduction to the language of modern genetics. Genetics for Endocrinologists will be a welcome companion in medical offices, clinics, and on teaching rounds.
