Reviews

"The clinical genetics community owes a huge debt of gratitude to the two authors of these Databases. It is difficult to envisage the practice of clinical dysmorphology and neurogenetics without access to the LDDB, LNDB, and Dysmorphology Photo Library. For most clinical geneticists faced with an unknown dysmorphic or neurogenetic syndrome, these databases are likely to be the first port of call. A thorough search of the databases will often suggest a diagnosis for such patients. It is this reviewer's firm belief that no clinical genetics or neurology department can afford to be without these databases. Perinatal pathologists and paediatricians will also benefit enormously from access to them." Mohnish Suri, Journal of Medical Genetics, 2002.

"In summary, a very practical and useful set of databases with a good many great new features. This will remain an essential tool in every clinical genetics service" "J-P Fryns and TJL de Ravel, Human Genetics, 2002.

"Metabolic disorders services, neurology clinics, and genetics centers, especially those involved in training programs, should find the databases to be a useful adjunct to standard reference works. Dr. Baraitser and Prof. Winter are to be commended for contributing a valuable resource to the literature of dysmorphology and neurogenetics” Harold N., Bass American Journal of Human Genetics, 2002.
