Reviews / Votes
'Praise for the first edition:' "Answers nearly all the questions that parents or clinicians might raise about fragile X syndrome....Can be recommended confidently as a thoroughly up-to-date, reliable, and informative account of the condition."--'Lancet' "The clinical and cytogenetic material in this book is excellent and provides a strong background for physicians and students...'Fragile X Syndrome' still presents the best comprehensive treatment of this complex disorder. Physicians, students, and other interested professionals can either read this book from cover to cover or select the chapters that interest or apply to them."--'New England Journal of Medicine' "Purchasers of this book will think twice about providing it on loan to trusted friends. It will not reappear until the second edition comes out." -- 'British Medical Journal' "Anyone desiring to learn more about the fragile X syndrome should read this book." -- 'Child Development Abstracts & Bibliography' "Since Fragile X syndrome is a common genetic disorder, genetic counselors, regardless of their focus, will have patients for whom fragile X syndrome is a concern. This book offers a comprehensive source of information and I would highly recommend it." -- 'Perspectives in Genetic Counseling'More details
