Genetic Skin Disorders
80.00 лв.
This book provides a comprehensive survey which details the clinical abnormalities, histopathology (including both light and electron microscopy), biochemical and molecular information, treatment, mode of inheritance and recurrence risks, prenatal diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and support for inherited dermatologic disorders. Clinicians will find the text comprehensible and practical. The author has succeeded in presenting the material in a language accessible to the non-geneticist. The appendix allows physicians to quickly find the correct diagnoses to consider. The listing of specific patient support groups will be welcomed by counselors and physicians who wish to provide such information to their patients. The annotated bibliography for each entry is carefully selected to include the key reviews and pivotal papers on the subject from journals and other sources readily available to practitioners. The volume is lavishly illustrated with over 500 color and some 200 black-and-white top-quality photographs, many of which come from the author’s private collection. Virginia Sybert’s training and experience in both dermatology and medical genetics have been brought to bear in this volume lucid synthesis of information on genetic diseases of the skin. Current hypotheses and classic assumptions are presented and assessed in the light of her own clinical experience. Any physician or genetic counselor faced with a patient in whom the potential for a genetic disorder of the skin exists will find this book a practical tool of immense interest.

This valuable text represents a comprehensive survey of well over 300 distinct inherited dermatologic conditions. Each disease entry follows a consistent format, allowing the clinician to quickly scan and access key information for differential diagnosis. Each entry contains sections devoted to dermatologic features, associated clinical abnormalities, histopathology, biochemical and molecular information, treatment, mode of inheritance and recurrence risk, prenatal diagnosis, and information on differential diagnosis. In addition the author has included support group listings and detailed annotated references which will be of invaluable benefit for clinicians. The book is lavishly illustrated with color photos to illustrate the conditions and conditions are grouped into categories reflecting the primary site of the major dermatologic features to aid the clinician encountering a condition for the first time. The material is well- written and presented in a highly engaging, reader-friendly voice which makes the content interesting and accessible to the geneticist and non-geneticist alike. This invaluable resource reflects the author’s extensive clinical experience and expertise in genetics and dermatology that provides a clear and critical synthesis of information on the genetics of diseases affecting the skin. Any clinician faced with a patient in whom the possibility for a genetic disorder of the skin exists will find this book a practical tool of immense interest. The new edition reflects a decade of new research advances in our understanding of the molecular basis for these conditions. Major additions have been added for over 150 of the entries, including information on treatment advances and advances in the natural history of disorders. All references have been updated as well as support group information and website resources.
