Completely revised and updated, the 7th edition emphasizes the clinical aspects throughout by using case studies and clinical correlations. The text integrates the molecular aspects of embryonic development, including information on stem cells, homeobox genes, gamete formation, regulation control and the molecules/receptors involved gene activity and expression. It includes the terminology developed for embryology - the 'Terminoligica Embryologica', presents completely revised and updated clinically oriented questions and answers, contains a chapter on birth defects that can be used as a 'mini textbook' on the subject and has been reviewed by geneticists and paediatricians to ensure that all of the information reflects the realities of clinical practice.
