Abstract

The prevalence of 52 minor congenital anomalies (MCAs) was determined in 111 children with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), and in 111 healthy matched control subjects. The average MCA per person was 1.60 in diabetic children and 0.86 in the controls (p less than 0.001). The difference was exclusively due to the significantly higher proportion of subjects with 3 or more MCAs in the diabetic group (27.0 versus 9.9%; p less than 0.001). No specific MCA characteristic of IDDM was found.
