基本説明

Contains clear descriptions of modern approaches to genetic testing and considers the challenges that arise when utilizing molecular technologies and genomic medicine.

Full Description

Standing at the forefront of neurogenetic medicine, this reference supplies the tools and information required by clinicians to become familiar with modern neurogenetic approaches and apply the data gleaned from these technologies to the diagnosis and treatment of neurogenetic disorders, as well as traditionally non-genetic conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
