PREFACE
To know, is to know that you know nothing.
That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Socrates
To accomplish an academic pursuit it requires a conscious effort, to acquire the knowledge, to practice, preach and finally to document what is practiced and preached. The first edition of this book is designed for comprehensive learning and understanding about genetic disorders for the undergraduate and post graduate medical students. It lays emphasis on mutation, types on mutations and clinical manifestations of each genetic disorder. We also tried to enlist few major advanced diagnostic techniques for genetic disorders, with detailed procedure which will provide a deep insight and will enhance the learning of molecular genetic techniques.
We hope students and faculties will find this book useful. We would be happy to receive feedback for improvement in subsequent edition.
