His Adjunct Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tufts University School of Medicine, and Founder and Co-Director, Center for Human Genetics, Cambridge, MA, USA.Jeff Milunsky, M.D. F.A.C.M.G. is Co-Director, Center for Human Genetics, and Director of Clinical Genetics, and Senior Director of Molecular Genetics, Cambridge, MA, USA.

"As the previous editions, this is an incredibly useful volume. The editors have engaged multiple experts on specific topics, as well as provided the latest and most up-to-date information and discus­sions without leaving out broad topics, such as genetic counseling, medical/legal aspects, and ethical issues. Each chapter has useful figures and tables, including some lovely colored illustrations...In summary, this is a superb book, both a reference and a resource. It is clearly an essential book for anyone involved in prenatal diagnosis, and for those who want to learn more about it. It is hard to be critical of such a wonderful resource." (European Journal of Human Genetics, 2017)"The Seventh Edition of this classic text has been edited with customary care and attention devoted by the two Milunskys. It consists of 34 chapters and represents the most extensive coverage of prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders. The first chapter on genetic counseling is excellent and should be compulsory reading for all medical geneticists...Overall, the book maintains the high standard of previous editions and represents the best source of information on prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders. My doubts on clinical questions are often cleared by referring to this volume. The book should be on the shelf of all departments of medical genetics and fetal medicine specialists."
