Abstract

We report the descriptive epidemiology of holoprosencephaly and arhinencephaly using data from the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program, a population-based birth defects surveillance system with multiple sources of ascertainment. From 1968-1992, we ascertained 63 cases of holoprosencephaly and arhinencephaly from approximately 734,000 births, for a birth prevalence of 0.86 per 10,000. Thirteen case infants with holoprosencephaly and four case infants with arhinencephaly were categorized as having syndromes. Of the case infants with non-syndromic holoprosencephaly, 55% had malformations not attributable to the underlying brain defect. The rate of holoprosencephaly and arhinencephaly increased from 0.58 per 10,000 during 1968-1972 to 1.2 per 10,000 during 1988-1992 (P for trend = 0.016). Rates were higher for females than for males (risk ratio = 1.45, 95% C.I. 0.88-2.41) and higher for nonwhites than for whites (risk ratio = 1.74, 95% C.I. 1.06-2.86). There was a U-shaped distribution of risk associated with maternal age with a slightly increased risk for younger women (risk ratio for maternal age < 20 years, compared with age 25-29 years = 1.68, 95% C.I. 0.77-3.62) and older women (risk ratio for maternal age > 34 yea...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
