"I have watched this textbook from its first inception and
was disappointed that there was no new edition for so many years.
Having waited, the result now is excellent and it has overcome my
preference for Emery's Elements as a basic human genetics
text." Emeritus Professor in Clinical Genetics

"I find the reference to electronic resources particularly
useful, especially for people who approach clinical genetics for
the first time and are not familiar with these tools." Dr Sixto
García-Miñaúr, Imperial College London, and
Hospital Universitario La Paz, Madrid, Spain
