Brief description Birth defects are common, devastating and costly to families and to society. The cause is unknown in 80% of cases. This research is helping families by finding the gene mutations that cause birth defects. Gene discoveries, in some cases, will highlight environmental factors that are important for normal embryo formation, such as oxygen levels and dietary components. By identifying gene and environmental factors associated with causing birth defects, we hope to ameliorate or prevent many cases.
