Joanna Latimer

The Gene, the Clinic, and the Family

Diagnosing Dysmorphology, Reviving Medical Dominance

Buch

Through the close study of an emerging genetic specialism, this book counters techno-science predictions of the 'death of the clinic'. The book enters the world of the clinic from the perspective of the family, as well as the consultants, to examine how genetic research on dysmorphology acts as a system of classification.
