Karen W. Gripp is the Chief of the Division of Medical Genetics at
the A. I. du Pont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, DE, and
Professor of Pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson Medical College in
Philadelphia, PA. She has a longstanding clinical and research
interest in Costello syndrome and other rasopathies, and in
craniofacial dysmorphology. Her academic pursuits include her role
as Associate Editor of the American Journal of Medical
Genetics.
Anne M. Slavotinek is a Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the
University of California, San Francisco, where she is involved in
caring for patients and laboratory research into the etiology of
birth defects. She is a clinical geneticist who has specialized in
dysmorphology and multiple congenital anomaly syndromes.
Judith G. Hall is Professor Emerita at the University of British
Columbia. She is a clinical geneticist who has worked over the
years defining specific congenital anomalies, their natural history
and their etiology. She has a special interest in non-traditional
mechanisms of disease, twinning and disorders of connective tissue
including arthrogryposis.
Judith E. Allanson is Professor of Pediatrics at the University of
Ottawa and a retired clinical geneticist at Children's Hospital of
Eastern Ontario. She has had a 30-year interest in Noonan syndrome
and other rasopathies. Her early research years were focused on
syndrome identification and how objective measures, both
2-dimensional and 3D photogrammetry, can enhance diagnosis. Over
the last decade she has recognized the increasing importance of
health services research to
inform the transition of new genetic scientific knowledge into the
health care system to benefit individual and population health, and
has been fortunate to be a member of two very productive teams
working in this area.
"This is a high quality book with useful information presented in a
well thoughtout and logical sequence. The handbook format provides
an advantage over similar publications, allowing practitioners to
carry it in the field. It provides a simple approach to areas such
as craniometrics with enough detail to make it a great clinical
tool." --Doody's
"Very few books can compare to this work. This is clearly a must
have for all observers of human morphology and the variances seen
in human growth and development. ...the authors have outdone
themselves with this update." Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5
Stars! --Doody's Health Sciences Book Review
