Abstract
The field of dysmorphology has expanded dramatically over the past ten years, a period during which not only the number of recognizable patterns of malformations has more than doubled, but great strides have been made in our understanding of the developmental pathology of structural defects. The benefit of this increased knowledge to children affected with birth defects and to their parents is immeasurable since appropriate recurrence risk counseling and information regarding prognosis are possible only in those situations where a definitive diagnosis can be made and/or the developmental pathology is understood.
