Terminological, Diagnostic, Nosological, and Anatomical-Developmental Aspects of Developmental Defects in Man

  • Chapter
Advances in Human Genetics 9

Part of the book series: Advances in Human Genetics ((AHUG,volume 9))

Abstract

Man’s experience of congenital malformations antedates recorded history and can be inferred from philology and the most ancient of legends. Indeed, the presence of Down syndrome in the chimpanzee (McClure et al., 1969, 1970) and of various X-linked disorders in other mammals (Ohno, 1967) means that even during phylogeny man lived side by side with mammalian cousins affected with homologous forms of his own genetic aberrations. The history of teratology has been written many times and is astoundingly voluminous (Gruber, 1964). It shows that the accomplishments of the early workers in the field consisted primarily of anatomical and clinical descriptions.
