A glossary of terms may be valuable for families and professionals with little or no background in genetics and who may not be familiar with the language and jargon used in the descriptions of the genetic basis of some conditions.
The glossary is a guide to the more common terms that may be encountered but readers are advised that the local Genetics Service is a resource for any enquiries regarding genetic disorders.
ANY WORD HIGHLIGHTED WITHIN THE DEFINITIONS IS EXPLAINED ELSEWHERE IN THE GLOSSARY.
