Clinical, Structural, and Biochemical Advances in Hereditary Eye Disorders

Book reviewssigns.In the light of these new risk figures which give a median onset age of 49 years, the section on the use of age of onset in genetic counselling should be revised.However, Dr Hayden is right to emphasise that there is more to the duties of a genetic counsellor than the provision of genetic risks.The last chapters describe the management of patients with Huntington's chorea, including some precise drug regimens, and discuss new prospects in research.The book thus provides a comprehensive review of Huntington's chorea, written by someone with wide experience of and sympathy towards the disease.It is an excellent monograph, interesting and stimulating, and I also found a it valuable source of reference.
