Congenital abnormalities of body patterning: embryology revisited.

Abstract excerpt

Many of the developmental mechanisms and molecular pathways that underlie fundamental features of body patterning are shared by all vertebrates, and some have even been conserved across evolution from invertebrates to vertebrates. Defects in such processes are a common cause of congenital malformation syndromes, and rapid progress is being made in elucidating their embryological and genetic basis. Here, I focus...
