Molecular biology is arguably the fastest moving area of medical
research, and now impinges on almost every medical discipline. This
book provides a comprehensive up-to-date overview of developments
in molecular genetics as they relate to orthopedic practice.
Written by Ian Young, a consultant Clinical Geneticist, the book
presents the fundamental attributes, radiographic findings,
epidemiology, and inheritance patterns of common genetic skeletal
diseases. These are organized clearly into three main sections:
primary disorders of skeletal development; syndromes with skeletal
involvement; and multifactorial disorders. The detailed appendix
and glossary provide a gentle introduction to the nomenclature and
technology of molecular biology and offer a useful starting point
for those with only limited knowledge and understanding of this
rapidly evolving field.
