From the reviews of the second edition: "This two-volume set covers many laboratory and clinical aspects of molecular diagnostics. ... The purpose is to provide a quick reference for molecular diagnostic testing in the practice of pathology. ... It is intended for 'pathologists, oncologists, geneticists, primary care physicians and other medical professionals with an interest in this specialty,' including residents and fellows. Clinical laboratory scientists (students or in training) also might find it useful." (Valerie L. Ng, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2013)
