Abstract

This is one of the few medical genetics texts on a 2-year revision cycle. It provides up-to-date information that can be read, retained, and applied with ease! The 3rd Edition covers pharmacogenomics: the societal implications of technologies: the Human Genome Project; cloning, genetic enhancement, and embryonic stem cell research: new tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes and more. Mini-summaries, study questions, suggested readings, and a detailed glossary facilitates review of the material. Clinical relevance is demonstrated in over 230 photographs, illustrations, and tables as well as boxes containing patient/family vignettes, coverage of ethical, legal, and social issues and clinical commentary on important genetic diseases. A companion web site offers continuing updates and a wealth of additional features.

Abstract

This is a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of mental retardation caused by genes on the X chromosome. Clinical and laboratory data on 130 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. As background, the X chromosome and the emergence of the concept of X-linked mental retardation are discussed.; X-chromosome maps show the location and mapping limits of the responsible genes. The authors have extensive experience in the clinical and laboratory delineation of X-linked mental retardation. They have described new syndromes, regionally mapped disease loci on the X chromosome, and in several cases isolated the genes responsible for X-linked syndromes.

Abstract

Het genetische onderzoek dat wetenschappelijke vorsers uitvoeren, is niet langer een zaak voor het laboratorium maar hoort thuis in het hart van onze maatschappij. Genetische technologie wordt gebruikt bij gerechtelijk onderzoek en als bewijs van historische vooronderstellingen. Bovendien wil de mens ook een keuze maken in de bepaling van zijn biologische oorsprong. Kinderen op maat gemaakt lijken plots niet meer veraf. Ingrepen in onze genetica hebben evenwel ook hun invloed op verzekerbaarheid, tewerkstelling en de privé-sfeer in het algemeen. De cruciale vraag dringt zich dan ook op of genetische testen leed voorkomen dan wel dat leed eerder veroorzaken. In hun boek Adam en Eva en andere verhalen over genetica schetsen David en Jean-Jacques Cassiman een duidelijk beeld van de Menselijke Erfelijkheid aan het begin van een nieuwe eeuw. Op een uiterst toegankelijke en intrigerende manier maken zij een balans op en plaatsen ze de feiten tegenover de emoties.

Abstract

th This volume contains articles presented at the X International Symposium on Purines and Pyrimidines in Man, held on May 14 19, 2000 in Tel Aviv, Israel. The first symposium in this series took place in Tel Aviv in 1973. Since then, the symposium has been held every three years in different parts of the world, including Europe, USA and Japan. The participants, in this series of symposia, are characterised by a wide interest in the various aspects of purines and pyrimidines in man, which include biochemistry, genetics, pharmacology, physiology, clinics, etc. Presentations in the symposia include clarification of metabolic pathways, characterisation of enzyme structure and kinetics and discoveries of new inborn errors of metabolism and suggestions for new therapeutic approaches for these inborn errors. In addition, development of new purine and pyrimidine derivatives for the treatment of cancer and viral diseases, and many more subjects of mutual interest were brought to the fore. With the development of therapeutic means and of new research tools, we have witnessed changes in the areas of interest. The interest in gout and uric acid urolithiasis has lessened, whereas molecular aspects, the role of purine and pyrimidine substances in neurotransmission and in purinergic signaling appear to gain greater interest. The articles, included in this volume, contain new data pertaining to the various aspects detailed above.
