Overview

There is a long history of successful interaction between obstetrics and gynaecology and medical genetics. Initially, most applications related to obstetrics, especially with the use of prenatal diagnosis and prenatal screening but more recently the growth has been in applications related to gynaecology, especially in relation to gynaecological malignancies. Despite this long history there is a widespread misconception that genetics is a difficult subject to understand. This book aims to dispel this misconception. The first section covers basic principles and the second outlines the more common situations where obstetrics and gynaecology and medical genetics interact. The third section consists of real-life clinical case scenarios, which have been selected to represent typical problems and to highlight areas which if mismanaged could lead to medico-legal consequences. The book is essential reading for MRCOG candidates and any health professional needing a clear understanding of medical genetics and its uses in obstetrics and gynaecology.
