Birth Defects Research publishes studies on congenital anomalies, including their prevalence, risk factors, and biological mechanisms. Research covers various birth defects such as congenital heart disease, gastroschisis, clubfoot, sirenomelia, and neural tube defects. The journal also investigates the impact of environmental exposures, maternal health, and genetic factors on developmental outcomes. Studies utilize epidemiological data, animal models, and in vitro systems to understand developmental toxicity and potential interventions.
