  9. Periods of Susceptibility to Teratogenesis

  10. Critical Periods in Human Prenatal Development

  11. Consequences of Exposure to the Teratogen Thalidomide Unilateral Amelia Meromelia

  12. Other limb Defects with a Teratogenic origin Polydactyly Syndactyly Cleft Foot

  13. Causes of Human Congenital Anomalies Numerically, genetic factors are the most important causes of congenital anomalies. They cause 1/3 of all birth defects are nearly 85% of anomalies with known causes.

  14. Common Multifactorial Inheritance DefectsFacial Clefts (1 in 1000-2500 Births) Incomplete cleft lip Bilateral cleft lip Cleft lip, jaw, palate Isolated cleft palate Oblique facial cleft Midline cleft lip

  15. Mechanism of Chromosomal Nondisjunction in Meiosis

  16. Incidence of Down Syndrome in Newborn Infants

  17. Birth Defects: Facts and Figures

  18. Birth Defect Statistics All in all, it is estimated that 50-60% of all conceptions in normal, healthy women abort spontaneously before pregnancy is even detected and that another 10-20% abort later in pregnancy. Chromosomal anomalies appear to cause about 40-50% of spontaneous abortions. Nevertheless, many chromosomal anomalies, however, allow the fetus to survive to term. In fact, about 3% of all liveborn infants have an obvious major anomaly. Additional anomalies are detected after birth; thus the incidence is about 6% in 2-year olds and 8% in 5-year olds.
