Vol. 16: Summer, 1998
Management of Common Genetic Disorders
From the Editor and Authors:
The summer 1998 Genetic Drift is a compilation of health supervision guidelines for the diagnosis and management of six common genetic disorders. Individual guidelines have been set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Committee on Genetics, and are referenced at the conclusion of each article. Our intent here is to offer this invaluable information in a single publication, for easy access by primary care and specialty providers. The authors have also incorporated additional current management suggestions for selected disorders.
This issue was spearheaded by Peggy Pearson, MD (AZ), with contributions from her colleagues on the MSRGSN Clinical Services Committee: Joanne Milisa, MS (NM), Janet Stewart, MD (CO), Louise Gane, MS (CO) and Kirk Aleck, MD (AZ).
