• Presents a comprehensive, translational look at all aspects of genetic steroid disorders in one reference work
• Provides a common language for endocrinologists, geneticists, molecular pathologists, and genetic counselors to discuss and diagnose genetic steroid disorders Saves clinicians and researchers time in quickly accessing the very latest details on genetic tests and diagnoses as opposed to searching through thousands of journal articles
• Highlights significant discoveries with clinical relevance, presenting insight into which medications to use based on the genetic makeup of a patient
• Teaches the best strategies and most effective use of genetic information in the patient counseling setting
