Full Description
Written in association with the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI), and with contributions from a multitude of recognised experts led by FOGSI (2025-2026) president Sunita Tandulwadkar; the Ethical Evidence-based Recommendations (EEBR) series provides clinicians with the latest updates and advances in the field, with each book focusing on a different subspecialty.
As genetics becomes a more integral part of routine medical practice, it is essential that obstetricians, gynaecologists and other health care providers are aware of advances in the understanding of genetic disease and the fundamental principles of genetic screening and molecular testing. Prenatal genetic screenings and diagnostic tests provide information about the health of a foetus. It can help families and healthcare providers make decisions about a pregnancy or the foetus. Genetic tests check for congenital conditions like Down syndrome, trisomy 13 and spina bifida.
The EEBRs in this book begin with an explanation of conventional genetics and cytogenomics, followed by the basics of pedigree charting which diagrams the inheritance of a trait or health condition through generations of a family. The text goes on to discuss screening and testing, and a variety of common genetic disorders. The book concludes with a section on recent advances and research in the field.
Other titles in the series include:
Antenatal Fetal Surveillance
Endometriosis
Fibroids
Hyperglycemia in Pregnancy
Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
Induction of Labor
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Postpartum Hemorrhage
Preterm Labor
