About this Research Topic
With the advent of new genetic technologies, we are rapidly learning more about how genetic and developmental regulatory systems work. Despite these major advances, we are still facing conceptual and technical challenges when investigating the etiology of disease, especially for fetal genetic diseases. Human diseases involve complex processes that include the interaction between multiple biological layers, spanning genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptional regulation. Alterations in epigenetic regulation contribute to a number of developmental anomalies, genetic disorders and diseases. Therefore, the interests of this Research Topic are the pathogenesis and diagnosis of fetal genetic diseases, genetic and epigenetic regulation of embryo development, life-long health risks of fetal genetic diseases, and accurate nursing of fetal genetic diseases.
This Research Topic aims to present recent research and advances regarding the pathogenesis of fetal genetics disease. It also seeks to investigate the fetal development to life-long health caused by fetal genetics disease, and speculates the important role that epigenetic factors may play.
We welcome submissions of Original Research, Case Reports, and Reviews on the following sub-topics, including but not limited to:
• Case report, pathogenesis and related biomarkers of fetal genetic diseases;
• Genetic and epigenetic regulation of embryo development;
• Life-long health risks of fetal genetic diseases;
• Accurate nursing of fetal genetic diseases.
