Summary:

Embryos, Genes and Birth Defects is a radical new book that bridges the gap between the medical disciplines of embryology and dysmorphology, with current advances in cell, molecular and developmental biology research. Written primarily for paediatricians, obstetricians, clinical geneticists and allied workers, this book introduces cell and developmental biology concepts, and guides the reader through the recent progress modern molecular biology has made to our understanding of human development. Developmental and cellular biologists will also learn how errors in the cellular and genetic mechanisms can lead to classical disorders diseases and syndromes.
