General problems affecting the foetus and infant are covered in separate chapters, followed by discussions of disorders affecting major organ systems. This edition retains an emphasis on clinicopathologic correlations and, molecular development and genetics are stressed, in keeping with their prominent role in the origin of birth defects and other abnormalities.
