It is prepared for MBBS students, whose anatomy syllabus now includes genetics, and is useful for BDS, nursing and postgraduate students as well.

Common syndromes are described with the chromosomal or genetic defect behind them, which is the form examiners usually ask for. All content is presented in English language.
