Reseña del editor

This work aims to provide a quick reference source for doctors written to help answer questions on genetics and rheumatology. A large proportion of the diseases seen by rheumatologists have genetic influences. Some diseases are monogenic, but many are without Mendelian patterns of inheritance, nonetheless still having strong hereditary influences. The dissection of the genetic basis of rheumatic diseases has moved rapidly over the past 15 years, increasing our understanding of the causation of the disease, and in many cases improving diagnostic tests and the ability to advise patients about their risk of disease. Increasingly rheumatologists are asked about the likelihood of offspring developing their parents' diseases and about the utility of genetic testing for those diseases. This book aims to provide some answers.
