Reviews

This book will be of interest to many different readers: clinical geneticists who want an overview of a difficult area; paediatric neurologists who need updating on the advances in molecular genetics of the NCLs; lysosomal cell biologists interested in a new angle on their favourite organelle; neurobiologists and neuropathologists interested in a less well known group of neurodegenerative diseases. For researchers in the field it is a handy reference volume. --M. Gardiner, University College London, in HUMAN GENETICS (2001)
