چکیده
finally preserved the banding chromosomes as a useful representation of the whole picture. This was useful for patients, clinicians and geneticists alike. The history of genetic mapping develops as successive techniques were invented. The text is full of suggestive rhetorical and conceptual terms, which explain in a very precise manner how the laboratory bench came to have epistemological superiority over the clinical gaze. The narration effectively accounts for the advances in diagnosis that created the genetic culture of our time and its repositories. The history of medical genetics is presented in detail as a space composed of experimental knowledge and clinical practices that has never fulfilled its promise, but still went beyond scientists’ expectations. The arguments are convincing, and the combined scholarship in history, sociology and medical genetics itself makes such a complex trajectory fully understood.
