How to give birth to a healthy child? Why does my child have heart problems? Will I develop Huntington's chorea like my father and grandfather? The topic of genetic diseases is becoming commonplace these days, but many have only a vague idea of what medical genetics is. Unlike a therapist, who accompanies a patient from the cradle to the grave, a geneticist monitors his life before it begins and years after it ends.
During his professional career, Dr. Kirk had the opportunity to take part in the destinies of thousands of people, and this period coincided with an era of unprecedented breakthroughs in genetics. The experience of a practicing physician and scientist, combined with the gift of storytelling, allowed the author to write an excellent review of the history of medical genetics and assess its prospects, clarifying the most difficult questions for anyone wishing to understand the intricacies of this new science using real examples.
