Practical and Informative
This aptly named book is truly practical from cover to cover, from how to
construct a family genetic pedigree chart to a list of suggested questions
for obtaining an accurate family health history. Author Robin L. Bennett,
a certified genetics counselor, also offers tips for locating medical
information on deceased relatives and touches on difficult issues such as
the challenge of family history and adoption. While not exactly pleasure
reading, "The Practical Guide to the Genetic Family History" is a
wonderful resource for people interested in learning more about how
genetics influence their physical, mental and behavioral roots. | |
