An updated, easy to use handbook which deals with the most common genetic disorders, their risk to be transmitted and their mode of inheritance. The book is easy to use and the tabels are simple and clear. However some additional information regarding cancer genetics could be helpful.
The tables I use most often seem to have the same data, but nice to have an update after several years.
The book is very superficial, although it encompasses several different situations in counselling. The Oxford desk reference remains the best in this subject, in my opinion.
It is unpractical book for physicians. Do not buy.
