Preface
The Methods in Molecular Medicine™ series is noted for providing clini-
cians, research scientists, and interested individuals with detailed experimental
procedures that are written by leading experts in the field. Congenital Heart
Disease: Molecular Diagnostics introduces a series of techniques that are cur-
rently used to identify the molecular basis for cardiovascular disease. New
knowledge gained from the application of molecular genetics to medicine has
had a significant impact in biomedical research. The chapters in this book
update the reader on new developments in the field and introduce the technol-
ogy currently used to define the molecular genetic basis for congenital malfor-
mations of the heart, cardiomyopathies, cardiac tumors, and arrythmias in
human patients. In addition, the limitations to identifying patients with con-
genital heart disease using this information during both pre- and postnatal
periods is discussed in this volume. The experimental techniques are presented
in sufficient detail to ensure that the procedures can be reproduced in any labo-
ratory, irrespective of the level of experience of the investigators. The notes
section included at the end of each chapter provides valuable insight for
troubleshooting, experimental design, and data analysis that come from the
benefit of the expertise of the authors who are all renowned and well-
respected in the field. It is my hope that Congenital Heart Disease: Molecular
Diagnostics will be a valuable resource for medical personnel, researchers,
patients, and their families.
I would like to express my gratitude to the authors of this volume for their
enthusiasm for the work and thoughtful input into each chapter. I would also
like to thank the series editor, Professor John Walker, for his guidance and
endless patience during the preparation of this volume.
This book is dedicated to my mom, Lillian Kearns, and to my family for
their continuous love and support.
