Description

The second edition (1986) of this highly-regarded, comprehensive text-reference highlighted maternal serum screening for neural tube defects, which had become, at that time, a standard of expected care. Rapid and continuing advances in molecular genetics dominate the latest developmental phase in prenatal diagnosis, and this revised and updated edition presents extensive critical discussion of the current and expected state of the art in prenatal genetic diagnosis. Genetic counseling prerequisites, with emphasis on the preconception period, are emphasized, together with new insights arising from recent discoveries. Includes some 5,400 references.
