An agent that can cause a birth defect is called a teratogen. Teratogens can include various factors such as drugs, alcohol, infections, and environmental toxins that negatively impact fetal development during pregnancy. Exposure to teratogens can lead to structural or functional abnormalities in the developing fetus. Examples include thalidomide, alcohol (leading to fetal alcohol syndrome), and certain viral infections like rubella.
