Overview

This work deals with the teratogenic effects of diabetes on the developing human embryo, and challanges the common view that insulin-dependent and gestational diabetes increase the risk of spontaneous abortion and congenital malformation. It is aimed at geneticists, teratologists and obstetricians as well as graduate students and research scientists in such areas as human genetics, endocrinology and teratology.

Rarely has an iconoclastic treatment of a subject been so thoroughly researched and documented.' - F. Clarke Fraser, McGill University, Quebec<br><br>'The book will be an important contribution to the field and, in fact, may be the most important book ever written on the subject of congenital malformations and diabetes mellitus.' - Dan C.
