Dysmorphology approach and classification Recognizable patterns of malformation Deletion, duplication, and microduplication syndromes identifiable using molecular technology Very small stature, not skeletal dysplasia Moderate short stature, facial, ± genital Senile-like appearance Early overgrowth with associated defects Unusual brain and/or neuromuscular findings with associated defects Facial defects as major feature Facial-limb defects as major feature Limb defect as major feature Osteochondrodysplasias Osteochondrodysplasia with osteopetrosis Craniosynostosis syndromes Other skeletal dysplasias Storage disorders Connective tissue disorders Hamartoses Ectodermal dysplasias Environmental agents Miscellaneous syndromes Miscellaneous sequences Spectra of defects Miscellaneous associations Genetics, genetic counseling, and prevention Minor anomalies : clues to more serious problems and to the recognition of malformation syndromes Normal standards

"Long known as the go-to resource for superbly illustrated, up-to-date coverage in this complex field, Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation, 8th Edition, provides a wealth of information on malformation syndromes of environmental and genetic etiology, recognizable disorders of unknown cause, clinical approaches to specific diagnoses, and normal standards of measurement for the entire spectrum of disorders. This award-winning reference is indispensable for clinicians in pediatrics, neonatology, family medicine, and genetics, as well as nurse practitioners and physician assistants-anyone who needs a complete, authoritative, and easy-to-read guide to help accurately diagnose human disorders, establish prognoses, and provide appropriate management and genetic counseling"--Publisher's description
