The definitive guide to genetic bone disorders, now revised and expanded with glossy photographs and radiographs "Brilliantly written and produced and deserves to be on the shelves of all pediatric radiologists. It should also be available to geneticists, counselors, and pediatricians." --Radiology This updated and expanded fourth edition of Bone Dysplasias presents age-related radiographs, photographs and clinical guidelines for more than 250 rare constitutional skeletal diseases. Focusing on diagnostically essential imaging and clinical features, each chapter is supplemented with prognostic and therapeutic information, a guide to differential diagnoses, and a short list of the most relevant publications. Organized in accordance with the most recent International Nosology and Classification of Genetic Skeletal Disorders, this new Bone Dysplasias distills the insights of a small, world-class author team on diagnosis and clinical approaches to this most difficult class of disorders.
This book is being planned as a tribute to Dr. Victor A. McKusick (1921-2008), who is well known as the “father of medical genetics”. He was long associated with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, first as a student in the 1940s, and later as a faculty member, becoming the Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Johns Hopkins. He was a co-founder of GENOMICS and founder and lifelong editor of Mendelian Inheritance in Man, a massive compendium of human syndromes and genetic variants. Dr. McKusick made distinguished contributions to all branches of medical genetics. He was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and many other academies in the world. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 2002. He received many other honors including several honorary doctorates. The proposed book will reflect all the fields touched upon by Dr. McKusick’s contributions. It will be a valuable source of the latest progress in medical genetics. The contributors are internationally distinguished in their chosen specialties. Besides professional distinction, they are being selected because of their past association with Dr. McKusick, as former students or colleagues who extended his research in some fashion.
