Description:
The only monograph on cytogenetics for the pathologist, this
up-to-the-minute reference/text contains the most up-to-date research
findings on many important topics in medical genetics-notably FISH
(fluorescent in situ hybridation)-based molecular cytogenetic
technologies and spectral karyotyping. An excellent resource for
cytogeneticists preparing for the certifying examination in Clinical
Cytogenetics offered by the American Board of Medical Genetics (ABMG).
Written by nearly 30 distinguished international contributors, Medical
Cytogenetics · covers the history of the field, tissue culturing and
staining techniques, and clinical applications of FISH, as well as
other methods for genetic studies and chromosomal analysis · supplies
numerous examples and case reports · examines reproductive dysfunctions
such as in-utero abnormalities, male infertility, and failure to
conceive · investigates chromosomal abnormalities associated with
myeloid hematopoietic disorders, lymphoid neoplasms, and solid tumors
such as those associated with breast cancer · reviews means of
obtaining accreditation or licenses, use of external peer reviews and
voluntary inspections, proficiency testing, and regulatory oversight ·
and more! Thoroughly referenced with over 1800 bibliographic citations,
and supplemented with a useful glossary, a large number of practice
questions, and over 40 color photographs, Medical Cytogenetics is a
pragmatic, hands-on reference for pathologists, geneticists,
cytogenetic technologists, molecular and cell biologists, clinical and
medical oncologists, hematologists, neurologists, pediatricians,
endocrinologists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and primary care
physicians, and an exceptional text for upper-level undergraduate,
graduate, and medical students in these disciplines.
