Gorlin's Syndromes of the Head and Neck

This is the fifth edition of a masterful collection of information on dysmorphologic conditions. Originally intended by Dr. Robert Gorlin for the world of oral pathology, the scope of this book has now extended to the fields of general dysmorphology and clinical genetics and is written by a unique group of editors and contributors whose passion to continue Dr. Gorlin's work is evident. With more than 1,500 entries, this is an extremely well-planned update and revision of the 2001 edition. This is a must-have book for all professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of patients with dysmorphologic conditions.

This classic text covers over 700 different genetic syndromes affecting body structures, and has established itself as the definitive, comprehensive work on the subject. The discussion covers the phenotype spectrum, epidemiology, mode of inheritance, pathogenesis, and clinical profile of each condition, all of which is accompanied by a wealth of illustrations. The authors are recognized leaders in the field, and their vast knowledge and strong clinical judgment will help readers make sense of this complex and burgeoning field.
