Book Review in J Child Neurol. 2011 Oct;26(10):1330
This new edition will be the definitive reference work for the next decade for consultation by clinicians, research scientists, diagnostic laboratories,
families affected with the disease and industry planning translational research. The format is similar to the original book, and includes invaluable advice on the genetic, clinical, diagnostic, morphological, care and treatment options available.
All chapters have been updated and new chapters have been written by experts in their respective fields.
This first edition described each type of NCL in detail and was used by families, carers, clinical professionals and research scientists.
"This book is the best
single source of up-to-date information on neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses
and should be in the library of child neurologists, pediatric
neuropathologists, and pediatric geneticists who may deal with
patients suffering from these illnesses."
