An Atlas of Genetic Disorders
of Limb Development

Congenital malformations are relatively common among newborns. If recognized early, many can be treated, and a complete repair can often be achieved. Our knowledge about this diverse field of medicine has greatly increased over the last decades. We now recognize a myriad of conditions that can be distinguished on clinical grounds as well as by their molecular causes. This book concentrates on a subgroup of skeletal diseases, malformations, and growth defects that predominantly affect the limbs.
