[DESCRIPTION]
Genetic Disorders and the Fetus: Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment, Seventh Edition is the eagerly
awaited new edition of the discipline-leading text that has been at the forefront of diagnosis, prevention,
and treatment of fetal genetic disorders for over 36 years.
The seventh edition continues the long-established tradition of excellence that has become synonymous with
this text. The book builds on the foundations of preconception and prenatal genetic counseling and the
original pillars of prenatal diagnosis while also providing authoritative coverage of exciting developments
in non-invasive genetic testing and rapidly developing molecular techniques, including microarray analysis
and next generation sequencing, that are revolutionizing the field. Chapters are once again authored by
internationally recognized authorities in the field of prenatal diagnosis. The editors have added three
entirely new chapters to this edition to complement the complete revision of existing content. The three
new chapters focus on non-invasive prenatal screening, placental genetics, and the psychology of prenatal
and perinatal grief. The broad-ranging coverage and international scope will ensure that the new edition
maintains its role as the major repository for information on all aspects of prenatal diagnosis.
The editors have brought together an invaluable collection of evidence-based facts bolstered by knowledge
and decades of experience in the field. Genetic Disorders and the Fetus: Diagnosis, Prevention and
Treatment, 7th Edition is a timely update to this world-leading text.
