This volume offers an update of the clinical signs, diagnostic criteria (including molecular diagnosis) and targeted therapies for a particular type of genodermatosis, providing a handy and unique tool for early diagnosis. In recent years, our understanding of genodermatosis and neurocutaneous syndromes has increased, but although Type 1 Neurofibromatosis (NF1) is the most common neuroectodermal disorder and involves a large number of patients and medical disciplines, this syndrome remains underestimated, often misdiagnosed thus leading to inaccurate treatment. The literature on the molecular and pathogenetic aspects is ample, but current clinical approaches, classification, diagnostic crite...
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), caused by mutational inactivation of the NF1 tumour suppressor gene, is one of the most common dominantly inherited human disorders, affecting 1 in 3000 individuals worldwide. This book presents in concise fashion, but as comprehensively as possible, our current state of knowledge on the molecular genetics, molecular biology and cellular biology of this tumour predisposition syndrome. Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, the 44 chapters that constitute this edited volume provide the reader with a broad overview of the clinical features of the disease, the structure and expression of the NF1 gene, its germ line and somatic mutational spectra and genotype-phenotype relationships, the structure and function of its protein product (neurofibromin), NF1 modifying loci, the molecular pathology of NF1-associated tumours, animal models of the disease, psycho-social aspects and future prospects for therapeutic treatment.
Epstein's Inborn Errors of Development provides essays on pathways of development and thoughtful reviews of dysmorphic syndromes for which the causative gene has been identified. It is a top-to-bottom revision of the landmark text that both revolutionized and accelerated the field of human genetics.

Diagnosing a genetic skin disease can sometimes be a difficult task for a dermatologist. This is especially true for genodermatoses-generally considered rare diseases seldom seen by practicing clinicians. As a result, professionals often have little experience with their diagnosis. The Atlas of Genodermatoses presents a unique collection of such ca
Erschütternde Nachrichten von Menschenrechtsverletzungen erreichen uns in der globalisierten Welt permanent. Dieses Phänomen ist historisch nicht neu: Medien waren entscheidend bei der Verbreitung humanistischer Ideen und beim Kampf für die Rechte von Mehrheiten und Minderheiten in Europa. Doch Presse, Bilder und Filme schürten auch immer wieder Hass und trugen zur Delegitimierung der Idee der Würde aller Menschen bei. Dieser Band untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Medien- und Menschenrechtsgeschichte seit dem 19. Jahrhundert. Das Spektrum der Beiträge reicht von Visualisierungen der Folter, der Darstellung religiöser und ethnischer Diskriminierung über die Rolle von »Whistleblowern« bis zur Neuerschaffung der Menschenrechte in der Kunst.
