Family Diseases: Are You At Risk?
by Myra Vanderpool Gormley

Genetic disorders affect most families in one way or another. In this book, Gormley, a Los Angeles Times syndicated columnist, explores the relationship between genetic disorders and genealogy, and offers suggestions about what you can do to treat or even control some potentially inherited diseases.

You'll learn how to determine whether you and your family may be at risk for certain genetic diseases, even such so-called behavioral diseases as manic depression and alcoholism.

As an added bonus, the book shows how comparatively easy it is to trace your family history, establish your medical pedigree and construct your own family health tree.
