Abstract excerpt
The discovery of nontraditional inheritance and of developmental gene families common to all metazoans has revolutionized research on human congenital anomalies. The most gratifying results of these new concepts are summarized in Table 5: several human syndromes have already been related to their causative genes. Classic embryonic mechanisms (ie, gastrulation, segmentation, adhesion) also have been correlated...
