Long known as the source to consult for guidance on diagnosis, prognosis, plan management, and genetic counseling, this easy-to-use reference focuses on the patterns of human defects caused by inborn errors in morphogenesis as opposed to defects caused by mechanical problems. It provides a wealth of information on normal and abnormal morphogenesis * minor anomalies and their relevance * clinical approaches to specific diagnoses * and normal standards of measurement for the entire spectrum of disorders. Each chapter includes a description of the specific abnormalityincluding occasional associated abnormalitiesnatural history, etiology, and references. On opposing pages are several descriptive photographs and line drawings of either an individual with the abnormality or specific features of the abnormality.

  • Provides over 1,450 photographs and illustrations to depict each malformationmany from the personal collections of Drs. Smith and Jonesto aid readers in diagnosis.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Podría estar mejor/Could be better
Recién comencé mi residencia en Genética Médica y uno de los libros recomendados es este. Sinceramente pensé que estaría mejor, lo compré sin revisar antes cualquiera de sus ediciones; aunque el libro hace revisión de un buen número de enfermedades genéticas, la información contenida en cada una es muy pobre, y no ayuda mucho en el estudio a menos que se quiera una revisión rápida de algo ya leído más ampliamente. Preferiría comprar otro por ese precio o algo más caro pero mejor.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good resource material for clinical genetics
Nice guidebook to have to help you study cases of human malformation. Each syndrome comes with text information and corresponding pictures. The pictures help you relate a particular syndrome with actual patients. It also has an index which shows some of the more common dysmorphic features that you may see and lists the syndromes that usually present with these features. The only drawback is that the information about some syndromes are sometimes lacking, so you will need another reference to expound ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Indispensable
Smith's Recognizable Patterns Of Human Malformation has always been one of the best textbooks for those health professionals who study and work on diagnosis or research in dismorphology, mainly pediatricians, pathologists and geneticists. Its 6th edition is 100% improved regarding illustrations, with nice color pictures as well as updated references and new concepts. Indispensable.
