The book is written for clinicians to guide them about investigations that need to be performed when a child is seen with suspected genetic disorders. The patient's family is worried and confused, and they must be counseled after the investigations are performed. Is the disorder treatable? Is prenatal diagnosis possible? Authors have attempted to answer all these questions in a simple and practical manner. 

The book aims to serve as a ready reference for pediatricians, neonatologists, geneticists, obstetricians and students pursuing their studies in biotechnology and human genetics. All the chapters in the book are illustrated with figures, charts and tables for easy understanding and instant application in clinical practice.
