Description

Many inherited diseases are due to enzyme deficiencies located within the subcellular 'organelles'. Such diseases can have devastating effects such as mental impairment, muscle wasting or retarded growth. Early and correct diagnosis is vital so that appropriate care can be given. This bookwill be the first to provide a comprehensive coverage of these conditions with emphasis both on clinical and laboratory recognition. This unique book provides a compendium of how to recognize organelle diseases and how to confirm their diagnosis using clinical, medical and laboratory procedures. Thechapters on basic biology explain the basic function of each organelle and explains how each group of diseases may be caused.
