In this review, we talk about the basics of teratology, which is the study of birth defects. We start by explaining what teratology is, when and how birth defects can happen, and what usually causes them. Teratology is a fairly new science that began in the early 1900s. It has made a lot of progress over the years, thanks to advances in areas like biology, toxicology (the study of poisons), and genetics. We’ve also learned more about how the environment can affect pregnancy. However, there’s still a lot of work to do to reduce the risks of harmful substances that can cause birth defects. While we know what causes some birth defects, there are still many where the cause is unclear. This means more research is needed to understand how different things might cause these defects.
