Genetic Disorders Sourcebook

by Karen Bellenir (Editor)

More than 6,000 human diseases including Down Syndrome, Hemophilia, Tay-Sachs Disease, and Sickle Cell Disease have been linked to Genetic causes. Some can be managed sufficiently for sufferers to enjoy a near-normal lifestyle, but, sadly, some are invariably fatal. This newest addition to Omnigraphics' Health Reference Series offers basic information about some of the most common types of genetic disorders, lifestyle expectations, disease-management techniques, and current research initiatives. A resource list covering more than 300 genetic disorders and related topics of interest is also included.
