Gene-Environment Interactions in Development and Disease

Gene-Environment Interactions in Development, Volume 152, covers the multifactorial etiology of a variety of developmental disorders, including orofacial clefts, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, autism, and others. The causes of individual cases of most common birth defects are unknown but likely involve a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental exposures. How these risk factors interact in the genesis of these conditions is still largely unknown and readers will find the latest information and ideas on these disorders, along with discussion of the challenges and opportunities for furthering knowledge in this area. Presents latest information on gene-environment interactions in development and developmental disorders Covers multiple animal model systems and human conditions Includes discussion of the opportunities for discovery in a challenging area of biomedical research INDICE: 1. Challenges and opportunities to understanding gene-environment interactions in developmental defect etiology Robert Krauss, Robert Lipinski 2. Transgenerational inheritance and its modulation by environmental cues Patrick Allard 3. Gene-environment interactions in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders Johann Eberhart and Joshus Everson 4.
