Genetic Diagnoses

This book presents current research from across the globe in the study of genetic diagnoses. Topics discussed include the genetic risk factors between thyroid function and preeclampsia; the molecular diagnosis of thalessemia and spinocerebelar ataxias; the genetics of left ventricular noncompaction; the genetic diagnosis to type 1 diabetes and the genetics of congenital heart disease.
