Preface to the Third Edition

It has been 5 years since the publication of the second edition of this atlas in2012. Since then, significant progress has been made in the field of geneticdiagnosis and counseling, especially in genomic medicine. The third editioncovers 284 chapters with the addition of the following 30 new chapters: Con-genital Infiltrating Lipomatosis of the Face, Congenital Radioulnar Synostosis,Cutaneous Vasculitis, Emanuel Syndrome, Feingold Syndrome, FibularHemimelia, Gilbert Syndrome, Hemangiomas of Infancy, Hereditary Sensoryand Autonomic Neuropathies, Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, Hydranencephaly,Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Isolated Growth Hormone Deficiency in Chil-dren, Lymphangiomas and Lymphangiomatosis, Macrodactyly, MitochondrialMyopathies, Mőbius Syndrome, Nager Acrofacial Dysostosis, Nasal Obstruc-tion in Neonates and Children, Niemann-Pick Disease, Opitz TrigonocephalySyndrome, Osteogenesis Imperfecta/Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Overlap Syn-drome, Patellar Instability, Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, Primary Microcephaly,Schwartz-Jampel Syndrome, Symphalangism, Tibial Hemimelia, Tyrosinemias,and Winchester Syndrome.

As with the previous edition, a detailed outline of each chapter is provided,describing the genetics/basic defects, clinical features, diagnostic investiga-tions, and genetic counseling including recurrence risk, prenatal diagnosis, andmanagement. The illustrative cases are supplemented by case history anddiagnostic confirmations through imaging, cytogenetic, biochemical, and/ormolecular genetic studies. In this edition, it was a formidable task trying to citethe relevant references in the text, which was not done in the previous editions.

In addition to the individual contributions mentioned in the acknowledg-ments in previous editions, I thank the following individuals for their contri-bution and support to this edition: Richard A. Hruska, Springer PublishingEditor, for inviting me to write this third edition of the atlas and Neha Thapa,Springer Editor, and K. Arun Kumar, Springer Project Manager, for editingand production of this atlas. Individual contributors have been acknowledgedin the case illustrations. I am especially thankful to the staff at the ShreveportShriners Hospitals for Children (Kim Green, administrator; Dee Chambers,Medical Staff Coordinator; Kim Blankenship, Director of Outpatient Clinic;Dr. John Fox, Chief of Staff; Dr. Anne Hollister, hand surgeon; Dr. DonHolton, radiologist; Sheila Barritt, Director of Radiology) and staff at LSUSchool of Medicine (Dr. Susonne Ursin, clinical geneticist; Mary Moore,BBA, Administrative Assistant; Dr. Joseph Bocchini, Chairman of the

Preface to the Second Edition

It has been 5 years since the publication of the first edition of this atlas in 2006.Since then, significant progress has been made in the field of geneticdiagnosis and counseling. The first edition of the atlas covered 203 chapterswhich were revised with current literature and addition of many illustrations,mostly in color. Fifty-two new chapters have been added to this edition.Selected references have also been added to the text for the sources of theinformation.

As with the previous edition, a detailed outline of each disorder is provided,describing the genetics, basic defects, clinical features, diagnostic investiga-tions, and genetic counseling, including recurrence risk, prenatal diagnosis,and management. Relevant references are added in the second edition. Thecases are supplemented by case history and diagnostic confirmations byimaging, cytogenetic, biochemical, and/or molecular studies.

I am grateful to the following individuals for their contribution and supportof this edition: Dr. Susonne Ursin, my genetic colleague and Chief of PerinatalGenetics, for case studies (Joubert syndrome, Mowatt-Wilson syndrome,otopalatodigital syndrome, rigid spine syndrome, Saethre-Chotzen syndrome,Silver-Russell syndrome); Dr. RMS Riel-Romero for megalencephalicleukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts; Dr. Amal Anga for Duncansyndrome; Drs. RichardMcCall, Phillip Gates, and Anne Hollister, ShreveportShriners Hospital for Children; Dr. Ghali Ghali, Chairman of Oral and Max-illofacial Surgery; and Dr. Renata Pilatova, Pinecrest Development Center, forproviding patients for studies and inclusion into this edition; Dr. LeonardProuty, Ms. Rhonda Lee Young, and Mr. Jozo Ivancic, LSU CytogeneticsLaboratory for part of the karyotypes used in this edition; Mrs. Lynn Martin,Beverely Gildon, and Diane DunkiJacobsNolten for nursing care; andMs. Ashli Daigle and Mrs. Barbara McHenry for their excellent clerical andsecretarial help. My apologies in the event that I failed to mention others whohave contributed to this edition. Without the patience and encouragement ofmy dear wife, Cheryl, this edition of the atlas would not have been possible.I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Joseph Bocchini,Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics, for his encouragement and support.I would like to dedicate this edition of the atlas to the Children’s Hospital,

Preface to the First Edition

This book, Atlas of Genetic Diagnosis and Counseling, reflects my experiencein 38 years of clinical genetics practice. During this time, I have cared for manypatients and their families and taught innumerable medical students, residents,and practicing physicians. As an academic physician, I have found that apicture is truly “worth a thousand words,” especially in the field ofdysmorphology. Over the years, I have compiled photographs of my patients,which are incorporated into this book to illustrate selected genetic disorders,malformations, and malformation syndromes. A detailed outline of eachdisorder is provided, describing the genetics, basic defects, clinical features,diagnostic investigations, and genetic counseling, including recurrence risk,prenatal diagnosis, and management. Color photographs are used to illustratethe clinical features of patients of different ages and ethnicities. Photographs ofprenatal ultrasounds, imaging, cytogenetics, and postmortem findings areincluded to help illustrate diagnostic strategies. The cases are supplementedby case history and diagnostic confirmation by cytogenetic, biochemical, andmolecular studies, if available. An extensive literature review was done toensure up-to-date information and to provide a relevant bibliography for eachdisorder.

This book was written in the hope that it will help physicians improve theirrecognition and understanding of these conditions and their care of affectedindividuals and their families. It is also my intention to bring the basic scienceand clinical medicine together for the readers. Atlas of Genetic Diagnosis andCounseling is designed for physicians involved in the evaluation and counsel-ing of patients with genetic diseases, malformations, and malformation syn-dromes, including medical geneticists, genetic counselors, pediatricians,neonatologists, developmental pediatricians, perinatologists, obstetricians,neurologists, pathologists, and any physicians and health care professionalscaring for handicapped children such as craniofacial surgeons, plastic sur-geons, otolaryngologists, and orthopedics.

I am grateful to many individuals for their invaluable help in reading andproviding cases for illustration. The acknowledgments are provided on aseparate page. Without the patience and encouragement of my dear wife,Cheryl, this atlas would not have been possible. I would like to dedicate thisbook to the Children’s Hospital, Louisiana State University Health Sciences
