Scientists in Sydney, Australia, have made a landmark discovery that could help women minimise or even avoid the risk of having a baby born with congenital birth defects. The study is published in the international journal Cell.
The scientists, from Sydney's Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute (VCCRI), show for the first time how 'nature' and 'nurture' interact to increase the severity and likelihood of developing birth defects, including abnormalities in the heart, kidneys, brain, limbs and cranio-facial regions (cleft palate).
Professor Sally Dunwoodie, Head of the Embryology Laboratory at the VCCRI, Professor at the University of NSW and senior author on the study, says the findings take us a step closer to understanding why some people in families develop diseases and others don't, and importantly, simple strategies that mothers could adopt to help prevent such defects occurring.
