BOOK REVIEWS
DESCRIPTION
Recent advances in genetics, molecular biology, diagnostic imaging and surgical techniques require a substantial understanding of prenatal development morphogenesis. The clinical significance of the normal mechanisms of embryogenesis, developmental failures and consequent craniofacial anomalies is of increasing concern to plastic and orofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists, orthodontists, neonatologists, and speech pathologists. This second edition will …….
Clinicians dealing with malformations needing comprehension of the exponential expansion of information on molecular genomics, dysgenesis, teratology and the etiology of syndromes and anomalies are served by this book’s succinct contents. While providing clinicians with a basic background for treating craniofacial anomalies, this text will also appeal to teratologists, embryologists, and anatomists.
KEY FEATURES
This new edition adds a clinical geneticist and an anatomist to the list of authors. The book introduces the most recent genetic information on craniofacial development with updated references and a new chapter on Craniofacial Disorders with known single gene mutations. New colored illustrations have been added, and all chapters have been revised and updated.
- A Website that portrays stages of embryonic and fetal development by “electronic dissection” of layers of tissues and organs
- Identification of genes expressed in development
- Embryological explanation of dysgenesis, teratology and developmental syndromes.
