Summary note
"A book that is at once scholarly, comprehensive, and accessible, Dr. Klitzman brings his wisdom to the major issues that confront sufferers from disorders with a strong genetic underpinning. Klitzman and the men and women he interviews address the predicaments and moral dilemmas facing patients and families in an age of personalized medicine: whether to test, whom to tell, and how to integrate awareness of disease into the sese of self."--Provided by publisher.
