S87-S89 | Pages: | S87-S89 | Journal: | South African Medical Journal | Abstract: | Prof. Peter Beighton has given a professional lifetime to helping patients and their families who have been afflicted by inherited disease. His clinical skills have brought certainty, confidence and support to those confronted with some of the most difficult decisions in life’s progress. Prof. Beighton’s research has led to the discovery of new syndromes and the elucidation of accurate genetic risks in many diseases. This in turn has empowered patients and their families to make informed decisions and has provided doctors with the scientific knowledge to help patients. On the occasion of this festschrift, I join with so many members of Peter’s international professional family to pay tribute to his leadership and service – not only in medical genetics – but also in the broadest domains of healthcare.L6106389432016-06-14 | DOI: | 10.7196/SAMJ.2016.v106i6.11004 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L610638943&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.7196/SAMJ.2016.v106i6.11004 | | Keywords: | muscular dystrophy;outcome assessment;X chromosome inactivation;genetic counseling;decision making;genetic risk;high risk behavior;human;Huntington chorea;mosaicism;articlebreast cancer | Type: | Article |
