Long known as the go-to resource for superbly illustrated, up-to-date coverage in this complex field, Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation, 8th Edition, provides a wealth of information on malformation syndromes of environmental and genetic etiology, recognizable disorders of unknown cause, clinical approaches to specific diagnoses, and normal standards of measurement for the entire spectrum of disorders. This award-winning reference is indispensable for clinicians in pediatrics, neonatology, family medicine, and genetics, as well as nurse practitioners and physician assistants—anyone who needs a complete, authoritative, and easy-to-read guide to help accurately diagnose human disorders, establish prognoses, and provide appropriate management and genetic counseling.

Key Features

Includes an easy-to-read description of each condition: Common and occasional abnormalities, natural history, etiology, and references. Opposing pages contain descriptive photographs and line drawings of either an individual with the abnormality or specific features of the abnormality.
Contains new coverage of Hennekam Syndrome, Parkes Weber Syndrome, KBG Syndrome, Kosaki Overgrowth, Malan Syndrome, and much more.
Arranges disorders based on similarity in overall features, so you can easily navigate to the correct section and compare/contrast similar disorders.
Features more than 1,500 full-color photographs and illustrations, many from the personal collections of Drs. Smith and Jones, and others from multiple international collaborators.
Provides summarized information in order to understand basic mechanisms of morphogenesis and birth defects and key concepts in genetics and genetic testing—necessary information for counseling patients and parents.
Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

Book Reviews

“While individual conditions are rare, for pediatricians, managing patients with rare diseases is a part of our core work. This reference book is written in a clear, diverse, and accessible fashion, with an excellent range of clinical photographs and diagrams to deliver the key messages in a concise format. This will be a very valuable resource to determine the diagnosis and improve the management of patients with dysmorphology.¿ -Winner of the BMA Medical Book Awards 2022 Pediatrics and Child Health Category
