Product Description
Dysmorphology is the study of congenital malformations and is one of the core areas of clinical genetics. Often the first professional seeing these birth defects is a pediatrician, who notices, for example, that the ears may be rather low set. While in itself minor, this physical sign may indicate a malformation that will be accompanied by other serious genetic disorders. Does the sign, or does it not, indicate an underlying syndrome? That question is often quite difficult to answer, and the texts that may aid in diagnosis are highly sophisticated and rather daunting for the practicing pediatrician. The aim of Reardon's new text is to provide a practical solution to this situation. In a format using a high-quality colour illustration of the most common and most elusive signs on the left-hand page and clear, concise text descriptions on the right, Reardon will create a unique and helpful guide to identifying these malformations and determining their clinical significance. Willie Reardon, a veteran OUP author and eminent dysmorphologist, is well-suited to write such a book, which will appeal to a wide audience of pediatricians, geneticists, genetic counselors, and embryologists.

Good supplement for a clinical genetics fellow or general pediatrician February 17, 2008
J. K. D. Dios (The warm islands of the Philippines)

Provides the terminologies (and the pictures) that you need to describe dysmorphisms you might encounter in your pediatric (or adult) patients. It also gives a list of possible syndromes where you may encounter the said findings. However, I think it would have been better if the author also added general guides to aid description per body part to help the inexperienced reader distinguish normal from the dysmorphism.
Very useful book in a quite difficult area November 29, 2009

This book has a very clever approach which focuses at the differential diagnosis in the difficult field of clinical genetics and so it can be proved as a very useful tool while reading relevant matters.
It is written in a very simple language and it is pleasant to read. The pictures are of high quality and give you an idea of descriptions that you could only imagine before, if you don't have much clinical experience. I recommend it.
