DADE 9120 Genetics, Embryology

The treatment of patients with cleft lip/palate and other types of craniofacial anomalies in the United States has improved dramatically, many children still receive care that is substantially inferior to what can or should be provided. Inadequate care results from diagnostic errors, failure to recognize and treat the full spectrum of health problems associated with these anomalies, unnecessary and poorly timed treatment, and inappropriate or poorly performed procedures. This course will inform of these persistent problems. Embryology lecture is an overview of the field from its 19th Century with Hegel and "Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny" to the 21st century research on "Evo-Devo" and the HOX development genes and their relations to the contemporary understanding of embryological development including stem cells.
