(Journal of Genetic Counseling, Vol. 12, No. 4, August 2003) Useful Book "...quite useful to anyone...interested in a taste of what emerging technologies in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics can bring to bear on questions of potential importance in biomedical research." (American Journal of Human Genetics, Vol. 72, 2003) "a wealth of practical information" Cassidy and Allanson have assembled a talented group of authors to address the more common genetic disorders. The chapters are extremely well organized and each emphasizes not only diagnostic techniques and differential diagnosis, but also patient management. The generalist will find a wealth of practical information readily available and accessible. The clinical geneticist will discover and rediscover valuable "pearls" within this text. Edward R.B. McCabe, Department of Pediatrics, Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA Hereditary Hearing Loss and Its Syndromes (Oxford Monographs on Medical Genetics, No 28)

Extractions: Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Liver anatomy Definition: Crigler-Najjar syndrome is an inherited disorder in which bilirubin (a substance made by the liver) cannot be changed into its water-soluble form, bilirubin glucuronide. This causes jaundice (yellow discoloration of skin and eyes) and organ malfunctions. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Crigler-Najjar syndrome is caused by an abnormal gene which fails to produce a functional enzyme (bilirubin glucuronyltransferase) capable of converting bilirubin into a water-soluble and therefore, easily excreted form. As a result, bilirubin can build up in the body, which can damage the brain and other organs. The syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. This means that the child must get the defective gene from both parents to develop the severe form of the condition. Parents who are carriers (with just one defective gene) have about half the normal enzyme activity of a normal adult. Infants who inherit the trait from both parents (this is called homozygous for the abnormal gene) develop severe jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia) beginning a few days after birth. If these infants are not treated, they may develop
