Atlas of Inherited Retinal Diseases (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 1085) (2018) by Stephen H. Tsang PDF

Description

This Atlas of Inherited Retinal Disorders provides a thorough overview of various inherited retinal dystrophies with emphasis on phenotype characteristics and how they relate to the most frequently encountered genes. It also meets the previously unmet needs of PhD students who will benefit from seeing the phenotypes of genes they work on and study. Further, because genetic-testing costs are quite high and spiraling higher, this Atlas will help geneticists familiarize themselves with the candidate gene approach to test patients’ genomes, enabling more cost-efficient testing. This invaluable atlas is organized into eight sections starting with an introduction to the basic knowledge on retinal imaging, followed by diseases listed according to inheritance pattern and disorders with extraocular manifestations grouped by defining features. This structure will be intuitive to clinicians and students studying inherited retinal disorders.

Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐good product,normally be deliverd next week,but i have received today.

⭐With a lot of IRDs being very rare it is hard to get a grasp of clinical pictures, concepts, and pathophysiology. This book patches up all those knowledge gaps and gives great overviews and new insights into IRDs. A fantastic purchase!

⭐Well organized and easy to find information in a pinch. Concise, clear information to help introduce each topic in this complicated field. Would recommend for any beginner in the inherited retinal diseases or anyone looking to refine their knowledge. The retinal imaging ensures that the reader will truly appreciate the genotype-phenotype correlations of each mutation.

⭐I have just began my position as a clinical research coordinator in the department of ophthalmology, and this book is truly a life-saver. The breadth of topics covered in this book is amazing, and it has really helped me to get an extensive understanding of this field. The pictures are truly parallel to none with detailed clinical characterizations from various imaging modalities. If you need a background in IRD, this book will be your bread and butter. Highly recommend.

⭐Outstanding genotype and phenotype correlations! for geneticists, pediatricians and ophthalmologists!

⭐Terrible print quality, unreadable. Returned immediately.
