Teratology is the study of abnormalities of physiological development in organisms during their life span. It is a sub-discipline in medical genetics which focuses on the classification of congenital abnormalities in dysmorphology. These may include growth retardation, delayed mental development or other congenital disorders without any structural malformations. The related term developmental toxicity includes all manifestations of abnormal development that are caused by environmental insult.Teratogens are substances that may cause birth defects via a toxic effect on an embryo or fetus. Known teratogens include: retinol, thalidomide, mercury, alcohol, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin.

teratogenesis
Teratogenesis is the process by which birth defects are induced in an embryo or fetus. These defects may occur due to genetic factors, environmental conditions, drug or chemical exposure, or certain infections during pregnancy. It typically involves alteration of physical growth and the development of organs and tissues, which could result in physical malformations, functional deficits, or death of the fetus.
