The study of human birth defects, known as teratology, involves examining the causes, mechanisms, and effects of congenital anomalies that occur during fetal development. Researchers investigate genetic, environmental, and maternal factors that can lead to these conditions. This field aims to enhance understanding of how certain exposures or genetic predispositions can influence fetal growth and development, ultimately improving prevention and treatment strategies for affected individuals.
