Craniofacial Development

Offers information on molecular genomics, dysgenesis, teratology and the etiology of syndromes and anomalies for clinicians dealing with malformations.

---

Recent advances in genetics, molecular biology, diagnostic imaging and surgical techniques require a substantial understanding of prenatal development morphogenesis. The clinical significance of the normal mechanisms of embryogenesis, developmental failures and consequent craniofacial anolmalies is of increasing concern to plastic and orofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists, orthodontists, neonatal pediatricians and speech pathologists. Clinicians dealing with malformations needing comprehension of the exponential expansion of information on molecular genomics, dysgenesis, teratology and the etiology of syndromes and anomalies are served by this book’s succinct contents.
