How do I have a healthy baby? Why does my baby have heart problems? Will I get Huntington's chorea like my father and grandfather? The topic of genetic diseases is becoming commonplace these days, but what medical genetics is, many people have a vague idea. Unlike a general practitioner who follows a patient from cradle to grave, a medical geneticist follows a patient's life before it begins and years after it ends. During his professional career, Dr. Kirk has been involved in the lives of thousands of people, and this period coincided with an era of unprecedented breakthroughs in genetics. Dr. Kirk's experience as a practicing physician and scientist, combined with his gift as a storyteller, has allowed him to write an excellent overview of the history of medical genetics and its prospects, illuminating the most difficult questions for anyone wishing to understand the intricacies of this new science with real-life examples.
