In recent years, biochemical genetics has witnessed enhanced exposure as a laboratory discipline because of the advent of expanded newborn screening around the world. Sample numbers in most biochemical genetics laboratories are growing because of the required evaluation of positive newborn screening results. Accordingly, it is in everyone’s interest (physician, patient, metabolic specialist, and other healthcare providers) that biochemical genetics laboratories have the most up-todate methods available on their test menu. The editors of this new book have thereby attempted a compilation of laboratory tests that will be useful in most laboratories. Each chapter has been developed by experts, with the goal of making each chapter “self-sufficient.” The utility of such a structure will prevent the need to reference other technique papers, enabling a more rapid implementation of techniques in the laboratory. The majority of methods in biochemical genetics are labor-intensive and complex, especially when compared to the automated testing laboratory, and therefore a laboratory-based compendium should be a useful and valuable adjuvant. This has been our goal in compiling this edition.
