Birth Defects Research Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology (BDRA) serves as a forum for original scientific articles and commentary that contribute to the understanding of the causative factors and mechanisms leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes in the human population, including structural and functional birth defects, developmental disabilities, and pregnancy loss.
More specifically, the journal features research covering such topics as:
- developmental harm from environmental factors
- genotype-environment interactions in the etiology of birth defects
- analysis of critical events using animal models to define the processes of normal and abnormal development
- approaches to the prevention of birth defects.
Submissions that cover a broad range of topics from molecular mechanisms through epidemiology are also encouraged.
