Reviews
“This is an invaluable source of information for all practicing molecular pathologists, medical geneticists, pathology and genetics residents, and molecular pathology fellows. It also will be useful to surgical and clinical pathologists, hematologists, oncologists, internists, scientists who undertake disease-related basic science and translational research, and medical laboratory technologists. … All chapters are written by pathologists and scientists experienced in the practical applications of clinical molecular pathology tests. … I highly recommend this as one of the must-have and must-read books.” (Michel Nasr, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2016)
