Developmental disorders, such as Down syndrome and cleft palate, often have a genetic basis, making molecular genetics crucial for understanding their origin and progression. This book examines the genetic mechanisms underlying developmental disorders, focusing on gene mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, and their phenotypic effects. It also discusses diagnostic techniques, therapeutic interventions, and advances in research, providing a holistic view of the field for medical professionals and geneticists.
