This book explores some further concepts that have arisen from more recent perceptions of environmental effects and their possible interactions with living systems. The book is written by international experts and numerous case studies are given. Discussion and presentation of old and novel ideas is targeted at developing a more holistic and united perception of the interaction between congenital diseases and the environment.

This landmark publication provides the first definitive account of how and why subtle influences on the fetus and during early life can have such profound consequences for adult health and diseases. Although the epidemiological evidence for this link has long proved compelling, it is only much more recently that the scientific and physiological basis has begun to be studied in depth and fully understood. The compilation, written by many of the world's leading experts in this exciting field, summarizes these scientific and clinical advances.

Cardiovascular malformations constitute a major segment of birth defects with profound medical, psychosocial, and economic consequences. Previous research has mainly focused on clinical methods of diagnosis and treatment, but the need for prediction, prenatal counseling, and preventive interventions requires further knowledge of familial and environmental risk factors. Until now, however, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of major cardiovascular malformations encompassing infant, familial, and environmental factors for the individual subgroups of cardiac lesions. In its detailed presentation of The Baltimore-Washington Infant Study, this provocative text provides the first systematic, epidemiologic assessment of 18 precisely defined cardiovascular malformations, taking into account other associated congenital anomalies. It includes an overview of the study's design and methodology; confirmation of major diagnostic groups by imaging or post-mortem studies; a classification of syndromes and multiple malformations based on updated knowledge of genetics and dysmorphology; and a statistical profile of more than 200 family history variables. By elucidating the factors that may contribute to the occurrence of 18 specific cardiovascular malformations and the similarities and differences of such factors for the diagnostic groups evaluated, this book begins to unravel some of the mysteries of abnormal cardiogenesis.

Much research has attempted to show direct linear relations between genes and disorder. However, scientists have been discouraged by inconsistent findings based on this simple gene-phenotype approach. The alternative approach is to incorporate information about the environment. A gene-environment interaction approach assumes that environmental pathogens cause disorder, whereas genes influence susceptibility to environmental pathogens. This book brings together contributions from experts from multiple disciplines who discuss: How epidemiological cohort studies can better integrate physiological (mechanistic) measures; How best to characterise subjects’ vulnerability versus resilience by moving beyond single genetic polymorphisms; How gene hunters can benefit from recruiting samples selected for known exposures; How environmental pathogens can be used as tools for gene hunting; How to deal with potential spurious (statistical) interactions, and How genes can help explain fundamental demographic properties of disorders (e.g. sex distribution, age effects).
