From the reviews of the third edition:“The audience includes those performing clinical cytogenetic testing or using results for genetic counseling or clinical care. It also would be of interest to anyone interested in cytogenetic analysis and application, from healthcare providers … to the educated lay public. … This is truly a remarkable and comprehensive book on clinical cytogenetics. … You would also want this book as a handy reference for which genetic abnormality is associated with what disease, and the best test method to use to identify the suspected abnormality.” (Valerie Ng, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2013)
