Genetic Disorders and the Fetus. Группа авторов

text. Moreover, these authors have again provided an international perspective, this edition having contributions from nine countries.

      Expert care in human genetics, maternal–fetal medicine, and perinatal medicine has demanded knowledge, up‐to‐date information, guidance, and expertise in each volume. This has been achieved only by the willingness of the internationally recognized authoritative authors who have taken the time to share their knowledge, experience, and wisdom. For this we are most appreciative.

      We are also grateful and indebted to our friends and colleagues who have died and who were expert contributing authors to earlier editions. We remember them with pride and sadness: Bruno Brambati, MD, David J.H. Brock, PhD, Jacob A. Canick, PhD, Louis Dalliaire, MD, PhD, Sherman Elias, MD, H.J. Evans, PhD, FRSE, John C. Fletcher, PhD, Fredric Frigoletto, MD, Albert B. Gerbie, MD, Leonard A. Herzenberg, PhD, George Hug, MD, Lillian Y.F. Hsu, MD, Mary Z. Pelias, PhD, JD, Arthur Robinson, MD, Richard H. Schwarz, MD, Margery W. Shaw, MD, JD, Irving Umansky, MD, Yury Verlinsky, PhD, and Dorothy C. Wertz, PhD.

      It is possible that we are unaware of the passing of a few authors and regret any omission. We remain eternally grateful to all these remarkable physicians and scientists.

      AM deeply appreciates the exemplary work and dedication to perfection of his assistant Marina Nguyen. JM is very grateful for the precision, accuracy, and patience of his assistant Emma Rebholz during the writing and editing of this text.
