Synopsis

This text provides a guide for hereditary genetic disorders in the USA. It provides guidance on questions to ask doctors and genetic councillors, how health-care systems, government policies and insurance companies influence the options as well as pointing to further information and counselling. Through the stories of real families and the choices thay made about genetic testing (for diseases such as sickle-cell anemia, Huntingdon disease and muscular distrophy) the author helps the readers think through their own alternatives and discuss them with relatives.
