This text was conceived as a tool to address the problems encountered by an endocrinologist when sureveying the wealth of information available from the past two decades of genetic research. The ability to pinpoint genetic defects responsible for a specific endocrine disorder opens the possibility of faster and simpler diagnosis, improved understanding of disease mechanisms, and development of new treatment modalities. However, the abundance of information attained may be so overwhelming that the practicing physician may be unable to apply this knowledge to the daily routine of clinical practice.
