Prenatal Pediatrics - Prenatal Pediatrics

Japanese: 出生前小児科学 - しゅっせいぜんしょうにかがく(英語表記)prenatal pediatrics
Prenatal Pediatrics - Prenatal Pediatrics
A branch of pediatrics that deals with childhood diseases that have causes before birth, i.e. congenital anomalies, and aims to diagnose, treat, and prevent them. It was established due to recent advances in genetics, embryology, molecular biology, and epidemiology, and organizes various aspects that were previously vaguely described as constitution, predisposition, congenital weakness, and genetic disease. It was proposed by G. Fanconi and Tadao Takatsu (1965).
[Significance of the prenatal period]
The genetic traits of both parents are passed on as genes to their gametes (sperm and egg), and when they combine into a fertilized egg, a pair of genes determines a single trait of the child.

[出生前期の意義]
 両親の遺伝形質は遺伝子として配偶子(精子と卵子)に伝えられ,それらが合体した受精卵の1対の遺伝子によって児の一つの形質が決定される。
