Description
Book SynopsisComplete with guidelines for genetic screening and counseling, this enlightening handbook should be on the shelf of every geneticist, genetic counselor, cross-cultural counselor, genetics and health care professional, and professional-in-training.
Trade ReviewAn excellent addition to the human genetics library. This book should reach not only genetics professionals but all health care providers... [It] is the first global attempt by several experts from diverse backgrounds to address specific ethnic and cultural beliefs and their implications for genetic services. It is long overdue! Alliance Alert The book succeeds in making the reader aware of the ethnic groups that [geneticists] might meet... If you see this book on your shelf, do pick it up... You will find the book fascinating. Journal of Medical Genetics
