This book provides hematologists with a concise summary of what is presently known about the genetic basis of monogenic and polygenic hematological disorders. Each disease is reviewed in identical manner: clinical features, etc. The glossary provides a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of genetic terminology and techniques. Aimed primarily at hematologists, this book also provides much of interest to clinical geneticists and genetic counsellors.
