Summary:

Offering a practical guide for clinical otorhinolaryngologists, this presentation covers the profound new understandings that medical genetics has brought to diseases of the head and neck. Coverage begins with the genetic basis of commonly seen conditions, the basics of the field, genetic tests and results interpretation, and patient referrals for consultation and genetic counseling. Following are chapters on various aspects of hearing loss, including nonsyndromic hereditary hearing loss, and hearing loss associated with thyroid abnormalities, pigmentary anomalies, vision loss (Usher syndrome), cardiovascular abnormalities, and renal disease. Subsequent chapters discuss cleft lip, rhinosinusitis, otosclerosis, vestibulopathies, otitis media, and head and neck cancer. The editors are affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine, Houston.
