"This book would make a valuable additiont o the library of any medical school or hospital where there is a clinical genetics or endocrine servoce. It will serve as a good reference source for a range of readers from medical students through clinical geneticists and endocrinologists, and it provides a good mix of practical clinical material and up-to-date biology." --Clinical and Investigative Medicine
"The authors of Genetic Disorders of Human Social Development recognized the need for an update on the achievements in this area and have provided a very good synopsis. The three authors are a perfect team, since they are recognized experts in pediatrics and genetics....In general, this book is well written, up to date, thorough, and logically organized. It could become the definitive textbook on genetic disorders of human sexual development....a
valuable reference that should interest every pediatrician, endocrinologist, urologist, andrologist, gynecologist, and geneticist who deals with disorders of the reproductive system." New England Journal of Medicine
"The writing is succinct, clear, and well edited. This is a solid readable book that is rich in information. It should be on the shelves for all who care for those with these anomalies, and it should be accessible on library shelves to students of health care and to medical residents." -- Alasdair Hunter, Annals RCPSC, Vol 33, No. 7, Oct 2000
"...a welcome addition to the clinicla genetic pantheon. It fits nicely in the excellent Oxford monograph series (N=38). The authors cover most key topics in this complex field...The books strengths naturally reflect those of its authors- genetic control of sex determination; disorders affecting gonadotropins, steroid biosynthetic pathways and sex hormone receptors; and multiple malformation syndromes. Dysmorphologists should purchase this volume as a resource
for 'their' topic alone. Other clinical geneticists and endocrinologists will benefit as well from clinical insight and genetic consideration of rare endocrine disorders."--American Journal of
Medical Genetics 2001
