Popis: | Approximately 3% of all infants are born with one or more major birth defects, resulting in >150,000 affected babies each year in the US alone.1 At present, birth defects account for more than 21% of all infant deaths, making them the leading cause of infant mortality.2 Although the etiology and determinants of individual susceptibility are largely unknown for most congenital malformations, pharmacogenomic analyses offer promise for the future.
