| Summary |
"The incidence of handicap from syndromes and inherited disorders is worldwide and causes common problems for families and society. This book has now been extended to include 10 extra syndromes and the entire text has been extensively revised throughout in an endeavour to keep up with the rapidly expanding knowledge associated with genetic disorders. An appendix provides a basic outline of genetics." "This book provides a practical reference for carers and those with a syndrome or inherited disorder. Each section gives guidelines on the practical aspects of help that can be given and contact details for self-help groups where appropriate." "Key features: describes the conditions and problems of both children and adults; considers the day-to-day management of disorders; written in non-technical language for a wider audience; enough detail given for the medical, nursing and midwifery professions; and well indexed and has an extensive glossary."--BOOK JACKET |
