L7: Teratogenicity Flashcards

1
Q

Def of Teratogen

A
  • Any agent that can produce malformation (birth defect), by interfering with normal embryonic & fetal development.
  • Teratogen acts on somatic cells of the developing organism → produce birth defect.

Q

Incidence of Teratogenicity

A
  • An estimated 303.000 newborns die within 28 days of birth every year worldwide due to congenital anomalies.
  • Approximately 10% of all birth defects are attributed to teratogens.

Q

Importance of preventive medicine

A
  • Knowledge of which agents are potential teratogens and their effect on the developing fetus is important because limiting exposure to teratogens is an effective way to prevent birth defects.
