Genetic Instabilities and Neurological Diseases 2/e

Review
Praise for the First Edition:
"... this presentation provides continued incentive to contribute to
understanding the molecular foundation of each unique disease with
the hope of insight and new strategies for treatment. ... I highly
recommend this book to anyone with an interest in DNA or human
disease."
- Alan P. Wolfe, Chief, Laboratory of Molecular Embryology, National
Institutes of Health

"... this is not a journey, it is an odyssey! ... the Wells and
Warren book is outstanding. Here, the publishers deserve a pat on the
back for the layout, figures (some of which are in colour) and print
quality. I simply cannot praise this book enough. My copy will be
jealously guarded!"
- Jamal Nasir, Department of Molecular Medicine, Western General
Hospital, Edinburgh UK

"Genetic Instabilities is an extremely useful reference book that
geneticists, researchers, and clinicians will want on their
shelves. ... There is no doubt that Genetic Instabilities will be a
much-sought-after reference text in may laboratories - it certainly
already is in ours."
- Puneet Opal and Henry Paulson, Dept. of Neurology, University of
Iowa

Book Description
This book describes everything about DNA repeat instability and
neurological disorders, covering molecular mechanisms of repeat
expansion, pathogenic mechanisms, clinical phenotype, parental gender
effects, genotype-phenotype correlation, and diagnostic applications
of the molecular data. This updated edition provides excellent
updates of these repeat expansion mutations, including the addition
of many new chapters, and old chapters rewritten as extensions of the
previous edition. This edition also features a CD-ROM containing all
of the figures from the book. This book is an invaluable reference
source for neuroscientists, geneticists, neurologists, molecular
biologists, genetic counsellors and students.

* Includes a CD-ROM with all of the figures
* Contributions by most of the principal research teams in the area,
edited by world-renowned leaders
* Lays the background for future investigations on related diseases
