From the reviews of previous editions:

"This tried and trusted friend remains an invaluable compilation of published work in the field of human chromosome abnormalities, providing all who work in this area an unequaled source of information."
-The Genetical Society of Great Britain

"...an unrivaled reference source."
-Journal of Medical Genetics

"...invaluable to anyone working in clinical cytogenetics whether in a research environment or busy diagnostic laboratory."
-British Medical Journal

"...the definitive and authoritative reference book of chromosome variation in man...[a] superb collection...no cytogeneticist can be without a Borgaonkar ."
-Genetical Research

"... an extensive, rich, catalog of human chromosome variants and anomalies."
-Canadian Genetics Society Bulletin

"All who work with chromosomes will be very much in Dr. Borgaonkar's debt."
-Biology and Society

CHROMOSOMAL VARIATION IN MAN: A Catalog of Chromosomal Variants and Anomalies, Eighth Edition provides an unparalleled means of reviewing the world literature on all common and rare chromosomal alterations and abnormalities. Organized for easy access, coverage is divided into the three main subject areas: variations and anomalies, numerical anomalies, and chromosomal breakage syndromes. The Catalog documents information on the availability of mutant cell lines and presents chromosome alterations with a list that cross-references band numbers.

This updated and expanded edition contains nearly 19,000 entries 3,000 more than the previous edition including new or expanded coverage of structural anomalies, new banding techniques, spectral karyotyping of chromosomes, FISH, UPD, and PRINS.

This is an indispensable resources for human and medical geneticists and cytogeneticists, cytogenetic laboratory technicians, and others interested in human chromosome abnormalities.
