Cases in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics (LGG) Practice

Cases in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics (LGG) Practice instructs readers in the lab-based diagnosis of genetic conditions, including inborn and acquired disorders using cytogenetics and molecular genetics technologies. This entirely case-based book covers a wide range of genetic cases, from prenatal to postnatal and oncology genetic disorders which lab professionals and geneticists encounter daily in the diagnostic field. Each disorder discussed includes a section on clinical background, clinical indication, tests ordered, laboratory tests performed, test results, results with interpretations, future testing and recommendations, and references.

The book will help lab professionals understand and navigate clinical cases using an integrative approach, and thoroughly understand the methodologies and interpretations involved in high complexity genetic testing.
