商品簡介
Also known as Shprintzen syndrome and DiGeorge syndrome, Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) is the second most common genetic disorder causing multiple anomalies. Children with VCFS typically have speech and language impairments. Shprintzen (otolaryngology and pediatrics, State U. of New York Upstate Medical U., Syracuse)--who is credited with delineating the disorder--and Golding-Kushner, founding members of The Velo-Cardio-Facial Foundation, Inc., trace the history of the disorder and discuss how VCFS may affect nearly every organ. The volume includes patient images, a clinical synopsis, and an accompanying DVD of video clip examples. The second volume covers diagnostic and treatment options.
