Endocrinological Indications for Genetic Diagnostics
摘要
This chapter describes the significant endocrinological indications for genetic diagnostics. For the disease patterns MEN-1, MEN-2, hemochromatosis, MODY diabetes, and CAH, the mutations are described, functionally evaluated, and placed in a disease context. The term “genome-oriented surgery” is of increasing importance here. Rarer genetic diseases are dealt with in tabular form.
