Special Issue on Congenital Disorder

Congenital disorder is the abnormality of structure and function of the human body arising during development. The incidence is 2~5% in newborn. Genetic abnormalities, the intrauterine (uterus) environment, errors of morphogenesis, infection, or a chromosomal abnormality may cause congenital disorder. The outcome of the disorder will depend on complex interactions between the pre-natal deficit and the post-natal environment. Although prenatal diagnosis (screening) can be used to detect some disorders before birth, more need to be discussed on congenital disorder.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring congenital disorder. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Congenital physical anomaly
• Birth defects
• Congenital malformation
• Causes of congenital disorder
• Epidemiology of congenital disorder
• Treatment of congenital disorder
• Prevention of congenital disorder

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Congenital Disorder” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
