• Spanning developments from fields such as biophysics, human genetics, neurochemistry, neurology, and psychiatry, this guide
• presents the most current breakthroughs in neurogenetic disease from both clinical and scientific perspectives
• contains clear descriptions of modern approaches to genetic testing and considers the challenges that arise when utilizing molecular technologies and genomic medicine
• provides in-depth chapters on genetic neurological disorders-with applications of modern knowledge to clinical evaluation and the understanding of disease mechanisms
• examines non-genetic neurological illnesses and demonstrates the use of genetic methods in the determination of disease pathophysiology and clinical management
• reviews the available neurogenetic data and discusses how it can be utilized and applied using practical examples

Standing at the forefront of neurogenetic medicine, this reference supplies the tools and information required by clinicians to become familiar with modern neurogenetic approaches and apply the data gleaned from these technologies to the diagnosis and treatment of neurogenetic disorders, as well as traditionally non-genetic conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
