The adult patient diagnosed with or at risk for a neurogenetic
disease has many questions and concerns for the genetic counselor,
the neurologist, and other practitioners. Because of the emotional
and potentially life-altering impact of these diseases on the
patient and family, counseling can be especially challenging. A
rare hands-on guide to the subject, Genetic Counseling for Adult
Neurogenetic Disease deals with core issues that differentiate
adult neurogenetic counseling from its more familiar pediatric
counterpart. This innovative book with accompanying videos is
designed to fill in deficits in this area typical of training
programs in genetic counseling (which have pediatrics and prenatal
concentrations) and neurology (which rarely cover genetic
counseling). For each condition featured, chapters include a
detailed overview of genetic symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and
management, plus guidelines for asking, and answering, pertinent
questions. The major concentration, however, is on genetic
counseling issues and case histories illustrating these issues. As
an added dimension, the accompanying videos depict representative
issues and challenges in genetic counseling for specific diseases
in addition to the basics of a neurological examination. Among the
conditions discussed: Movement disorders, including Parkinson's
disease. Dementias, including Alzheimer's disease. Stroke. Motor
neuron diseases. Neuropathies and channelopathies. Adult muscular
dystrophies. Neurocutaneous syndromes. Plus a section on
neurological and neuropsychological evaluation. This is information
that will stay relevant as technologies change and genetic
understanding evolves. Genetic Counseling for Adult Neurogenetic
Disease offers advanced clinical wisdom for genetic counselors as
well as neurologists, neuropsychologists, and other referring
clinicians.
