This applies not only to the treatment of patients but even more to that of entire families. Many doctors are as yet unaware that the appearance of serious, sometimes fatal diseases can be avoided by preventing the concep tion of sick human beings. Our knowledge of genetics permits the relatively accurate prediction, based on statistical probability, of the recurrence of genetic defects (anomalies) and diseases within families. Our patients are frequently aware that such predictions are pos sible. In an effort to prevent the birth of defective children they try to inform themselves. However, in the practice of the individual doctor this sort of inquiry does not occur with such frequency that he is forced to concern himself systematically with these problems. | 出版日期 | Textbook 19691st edition | 关键词 | Chromosom; chromosome; diseases; genetics; medicine | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4899-2672-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4899-2672-2Series ISSN 0073-1595 | issn_series | 0073-1595 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1969 |
