International Commission for Protection against Environmental Mutagens and Carcinogens. ICPEMC Working Paper No. 10. A new approach to germinal mutation surveillance: pair-wise evaluation of component elements in unidentified multiple congenital abnormalities.

Abstract excerpt

In the Hungarian population-based surveillance of germinal mutations, 3 indicator conditions of offspring are being followed, namely 15 sentinel anomalies, Down syndrome and unidentified multiple congenital abnormality. The latter is discussed here as a possible indicator of germinal dominant gene and chromosomal mutations. The component congenital abnormalities of unidentified multiple congenital abnormalities...
