Craniofacial development: the possible mechanisms for some malformations.

K W Vig, G Millicovsky, M C Johnston

    British Journal of Orthodontics
    |July 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study reviews normal craniofacial development and facial process fusion mechanisms. It explores how environmental factors and teratogens interact with genetic susceptibility in animal models to cause craniofacial malformations in humans.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Biology
    • Genetics
    • Teratology

    Background:

    • Craniofacial development involves complex processes of tissue fusion.
    • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for identifying causes of congenital anomalies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review normal craniofacial development and facial process fusion.
    • To discuss the influence of environmental factors and teratogens on craniofacial malformations.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on craniofacial development.
    • Analysis of genetic susceptibility in animal models.
    • Extrapolation of findings to human craniofacial malformations.

    Main Results:

    • Normal craniofacial development relies on precise fusion of facial processes.
    • Environmental factors and teratogens can disrupt this fusion.
    • Genetic susceptibility influences an organism's response to teratogenic exposures.

    Conclusions:

    • Interplay between genetics and environment is key in craniofacial malformations.
    • Animal models provide valuable insights into human craniofacial development and defects.
