Shrnutí:Congenital anomalies occupy a field where developmental biology meets clinical interpretation. This volume introduces dysmorphology as both a diagnostic science and a reflective practice grounded in observation and reasoning. It traces the discipline’s evolution from descriptive morphology to its integration with cytogenetics and molecular genetics, clarifying how chromosomal, monogenic, and multifactorial factors shape abnormal development. Emphasis is placed on clinical method—anamnesis, examination, and pedigree analysis—as the foundation for diagnostic hypotheses and judicious genetic testing. Contemporary frameworks such as standardized phenotypic nomenclature and genomic sequencing are examined alongside their ethical and conceptual implications.
