The Atlas of X-Linked Intellectual Disability Syndromes is a
comprehensive and up-to-date summary of the clinically distinctive
disorders caused by genes on the X chromosome. Clinical and
laboratory data on 150 syndromes are presented in a concise and
consistent manner. Each syndrome is defined and information is
provided on somatic features, growth and development, neurological
signs, cognitive performance, imaging and other laboratory
findings, and when possible, the nature and localization of the
responsible gene. Craniofacial and other somatic findings are
extensively illustrated. A differential matrix accompanies each
syndrome description to assist the reader in identifying other
X-linked syndromes with overlapping features. Individual syndrome
entries are supplemented with nineteen appendices that identify
syndromes with common features and provide the location or mapping
limits and function of the responsible genes. The authors have
extensive experience in the clinical and laboratory delineation of
X-linked intellectual disability. They have described new
syndromes, regionally mapped disease loci on the X chromosome, and
identified the genes responsible for X-linked syndromes.
The third edition of Human Malformations and Related Anomalies is a
comprehensive reference and clinical guide to significant human
malformations. Authored by 40 authorities in genetics and
dysmorphology, this streamlined new edition offers an authoritative
and richly illustrated guide to clinical presentation, associated
anomalies, treatment, and prognosis.
Overgrowth Syndromes is a comprehensive clinical guide to the
well-defined genetic disorders (and others that are less
well-defined) for which somatic overgrowth is a major
manifestation. It details the unique characteristics and known
causative genes for this class of disorders, offering clinicians an
expert resource for both clinical diagnosis and laboratory
confirmation. Assembled by the world's leading experts on
overgrowth, this volume maximizes clinical utility without
sacrificing nuance or rigor. It codifies the last decade's sweeping
advances in understanding general and segmental overgrowth,
including the latter's mosaic nature and phenotypic variability. It
is an essential resource for clinicians navigating this set of
conditions from clinical presentation all the way to counseling and
anticipatory management.
