This is part of a series designed to provide trainee and practising doctors with easily accessible and authoritative information about genetic aspects of their specialities. The volumes describe what is known of the hereditary nature of various groups of disease and indicate how this knowledge can be applied in genetic counselling. This text is aimed at nephrologists, clinical geneticists, paediatricians, internists, pathologists, urologists and all those interested in birth defects and developmental anomalies. The text covers the various genetic disorders with renal involvement and for each disease there is information on its clinical presentation, pathology and pathophysiology, genetics, and treatment and prevention, complemented by a selective bibliography. Stress is placed on the completeness of information rather than on detail. The terminology of diseases as presented in the sixth edition of "Mendelian Inheritance in Man" (McKuisk) is followed.
