description
esigned to be a complete guide for the majority of genetic diseases that have cutaneous symptoms. For many of the mnemonics, cartoons accompany the text, highlighting the salient features of the genoderm and serving as visual mnemonics to aid in the memorization of the disease. The visual mnemonics vary in degree of humor, as the more outrageous the mnemonic, the better it sticks in memory. The book concludes with a series of tables and lists, which serve as a succinct summary of the genodermatoses based on the primary phenotypic disorder. Key features include: full color clinical images; content that is organized into sections based on the primary phenotypic disorder of the genodermatoses; each syndrome discussed includes the name, common eponyms (if relevant), the inheritance pattern, the gene mutation, and the protein involved; important clinical presentations, associations, lab abnormalities, and in some cases, treatments are also included.
