Written by distinguished authorities, this volume is a comprehensive text on the mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of pediatric endocrine disorders. It provides exceptional coverage of current scientific concepts and state-of-the-art, practical clinical information.
The opening sections examine genetic aspects of endocrinology and diagnostic tests, including imaging and molecular techniques.

Each section progresses from molecular genetics and developmental endocrinology to specific clinical disorders and management strategies.
