Information for the Community

Please note:
If you have questions about the causes of birth defects or have specific questions about a pregnancy, then besides your physician, we encourage you to contact one or more of the sources in the links section.

The Mission of this Society is:

to promote research and the exchange of ideas and research results that reveal the causes, improve the diagnosis and treatment, and prevent the occurrence of abnormal development and birth defects;

to communicate that information to physicians, public health officials, concerned health advocacy and lay groups and other interested parties that promote the elimination of birth defects when possible and amelioration of them when they occur;

and to provide education and training on the causes, mechanisms, treatment and prevention of birth defects.
