Reviews

The purpose is to provide a single source of the 'current understanding of chimerism.' This worthy objective is well met by this book. ... This book would be of interest to anyone working in blood bank/transfusion services or molecular genetic testing, general anatomical pathologists and specialists in forensics, autoimmune and/or obstetrical pathology. ... This is a fantastic book and a fascinating read. You will quickly get up to speed in an esoteric area which surprisingly impacts many aspects of medicine. (Valerie L. Ng, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2018)
