Each chapter examines a specific clinical finding and leads the user through a step-by-step approach to a differential diagnosis. To maximize clinical utility, this handbook features: - Prominent flow chart diagrams that graphically depict the diagnostic approach - Concise recommendations for laboratory and/or imaging studies - Health supervision and management strategies for the most common conditions associated with each presenting sign or symptom Whether for the student, resident, or seasoned clinician, Signs and Symptoms of Genetic Conditions will serve as a frontline resource for navigating differential diagnosis.
