Diagnosing a genetic skin disease can sometimes be a difficult task for a dermatologist. This is especially true for genodermatoses-generally considered rare diseases seldom seen by practicing clinicians.
Specially designed for dermatologists, pediatricians, and family physicians, this user-friendly guide to genetic skin disorders is an ideal resource for both board preparation and clinical practice.
Following an introduction covering clinical perspectives, animals models and prenatal dermatology, the second edition of the book approaches specific disease groups.
In addition to being a clinical primer, this is also a work of scientific research and contains the first printed description of two new syndromes.
