This third edition of Epstein's Inborn Errors of Development provides essays on pathways of development and thoughtful reviews of dysmorphic syndromes for which the causative gene has been identified. The authors of the chapters on each disorder have provided in depth analyses of the role of the gene in the relevant developmental pathway and the mechanism by which mutations in the gene cause the developmental pathology.

In this book, the clinical chapters are organized into sections by defined developmental pathways or gene families, and each section is preceded by a general overview. For each disorder the authors cover the disease-causing genes, the role of these genes in development as elucidated in model organisms, the human mutations that have been identified, and the developmental pathogenesis of the condition. Clinical descriptions, along with discussions of therapy and counseling, are provided. This book will be an invaluable resource for physicians, dentists, and other health professionals and for basic scientists interested in developmental processes and genetic perturbations that affect them.
Este libro plantea si es ética la investigación con animales y si la regulación es adecuada. Muchos de los avances médicos que han sido decisivos para la humanidad se han producido tras las pruebas con los animales. El autor documenta y denuncia aberraciones cometidas contra animales al amparo de la investigación científica, por lo que cree que la ciudadanía necesita información y contexto para entender el mundo de la investigación científica y de esta forma poder conciliar el respeto por los animales y dignidad para las personas
