Abstract:
This thoroughly revised and expanded edition of a highly praised
classic, The Principles of Clinical Cytogenetics, includes the many
advances that have occurred in the field. Among the highlights are a
full section devoted to advances in fluorescence in situ
hybridization (FISH) technology, increased coverage of cancer
cytogenetics-both hematopoietic neoplasms and tumor cytogenetics-and
new chapters on chromosome instability and the cytogenetics of
infertility. The book offers physicians who depend on the
cytogenetics laboratory for the diagnosis of their patients, students
in cytogenetics programs, and cytogeneticists the clear understanding
they need to carry out and interpret their test results rapidly
