Review Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Oxford Medical Publications) / Oxford University Press, USA:This is the second edition of a highly acclaimed monograph. It is currently the only book which considers Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in detail and critically evaluates the extensive published literature. The author draws on his extensive clinical experience and scientific knowledge to provide an account of one of the most common inherited diseases. After a brief historical introduction, he describes the clinical features of the disease, emphasizing the involvement of tissues other than skeletal muscle. The biochemistry, genetics, and molecular pathology are discussed in the context of recent research findings, building a picture of the role of dystrophin in the pathogenesis of the disease. Prevention through neonatal screening, carrier detection, genetic counselling, and prenatal diagnosis is covered extensively, stressing the importance of DNA markers and gene probes. Finally, the book discusses the management of patients with the disease and the possibilities for treatment, which include surgical correction of deformities, new drug treatments, the prospects for myoblast transfer, and the possibilities for gene therapy.

Review Multicolor FISH in Human Cytogenetics (Cytogenetic & Genome Research) / S Karger Pub:This special issue focuses on the recent developments in the exciting and continuously progressing field of human multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridisation (mFISH), highlighting the advantages, applications and possible limitations of this technique. Today, mFISH assays are indispensable for the precise characterization of complex chromosome rearrangements and numerical chromosome aberrations. In a first, more technically oriented part, the main mFISH-techniques (M-FISH, SKY, COBRA) are reviewed and their applications described. In the second part, world experts in the field discuss the multitude of presently available techniques and present their latest findings based on the use of mFISH in tumor cytogenetics, clinical genetics and basic investigations. The most recent studies employing mFISH in the diagnosis of leukemia, lymphoma and solid tumors are included as are preimplantation, pre- and postnatal clinical genetic studies using interphase-mFISH probe sets, FISH-banding and DNA-array techniques. Since structurally rearranged marker chromosomes have implications for hereditary and acquired diseases, chromosomal breakpoints are characterized and evaluated. This unique, comprehensive and up-to-date volume will be a valuable resource for (molecular) cytogeneticists, genetic counsellors, cell biologists, geneticists, reproductive scientists, obstetricians, pediatricians, oncologists and hematologists.

Review From Molecule to Men: Molecular Basis of Congenital Cardiovascular Disorders / Steinkopff-Verlag Darmstadt:From molecule to man: Medical research has indeed taken this direction, and major improvements of our understanding of the pathophysiology and epidemiology of disease have been achieved. The molecular basis of the congenital cardiovascular disorders has been extended from relatively few congenital malformations into everyday illnesses such as diabetes mellitus, hyperlipoproteinaemea, and arterial hypertension. The monogenic and, more difficult, polygenic basis for a vast majority of cardiovascular disorders are being defined more precisely from year to year. This book gives an overview of what has been achieved so far and defines the current position.
