Series: Oxford Monographs on Medical Genetics

This is the third edition of the foremost medical reference on hereditary hearing loss. Chapters on epidemiology, embryology, non-syndromic hearing loss, and syndromic forms of hearing loss have all been updated with particular attention to the vast amount of new information on molecular mechanisms, and chapters on clinical and molecular diagnosis and on genetic susceptibility to ototoxic factors have been added. As in previous editions, the syndromes are grouped by system (visual, metabolic, cardiologic, neurologic, musculoskeletal, endocrine, etc.), with each chapter written by a recognized expert in the field.

Written for practicing clinicians, this volume is an excellent reference for physicians, audiologists, and other professionals working with individuals with hearing loss and their families, and can also serve as a text for clinical training programs and for researchers in the hearing sciences.

Reviews for Hereditary Hearing Loss and Its Syndromes

"""This book stands alone as a standard reference on hereditary hearing loss. It will be an essential tool for all otorhinolaryngologists, medical geneticists, and other health care workers serving those with hearing disorders and their families."" --New England Journal of Medicine ""This book is an invaluable source of information for otolaryngologists, clinical geneticists and all those who care for patients with deafness and congenital malformations. Like other volumes by the same authors, it is destined to become a 'classic'."" --Annals of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada ""This reference is the most comprehensive book on the subject of hereditary deafness since Konigsmark and Gorlin's text GENETIC AND METABOLIC DEAFNESS published in 1976. This sequel has been long awaited by professionals and students in the fields of genetics, otolaryngology, and speech and hearing...An excellent reference which will prove to be an invaluable resource."" --Journal of Genetic Counseling"
