Riassunto

This book is an off-shoot of the computerized London Dysmorphology Database which is used by geneticists and dysmorphologists. The book arises from the increasing number of multiple congenital anomaly syndromes, and the need for information about their features and further relevant literature. The aim of this book is to provide a source of information for those who need a diagnosis for the purposes of genetic counselling, an assessment of the prognosis and an answer to the basic question asked by nearly all parents "what is wrong with my child?". One child in 50 is born with a easily detectable major malformation. Many of these will have single malformations, but in the vicinity of eight in 1000 will have multiple abnormalities. This group will include 50% with chromasomal disorders recognisable by doing a karyotype and the rest will need to be diagnosed by other means. It the diagnosis of this latter group that this book is aimed.
